Tourism legislation

Vanuatu Tourism Office and tourism department review tourism legislation

The legislation are the Vanuatu Tourism Council Act No.23 of 2012 and the Vanuatu Tourism Act Cap 142.

These two pieces of legislation were enacted before the development of the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) and the Vanuatu Sustainable Tourism Policy (VSTP).

The review is intended to strengthen the legislative framework to guide the implementation of this sector-wide policy that is linked to the 2030 People’s Plan.
