AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 minutes agoWeather Watch: A slow-moving tropical disturbance has brought rain and strong-wind warnings across the Southern Cook Islands, with warnings also covering Northern Cook waters and land areas. Residents and mariners are urged to secure equipment and check forecasts. Hospitality Staffing: Immigration is developing a 2027 pilot to let young overseas travellers take short-term hospitality jobs through a simpler process. A columnist questions whether easier access for visitors and overseas workers is matched by enough housing and opportunities for Cook Islanders and returning families. Visitor Safety and Access: Police are still seeking information about the bag-snatching of a tourist in Rarotonga; visitors can also apply online for a local driver licence before arrival, ideally at least 48 hours ahead. Water Resilience: El Niño is increasing water-scarcity risks in the Southern Cooks, while the Northern Cooks are seeing more rain—a challenge for communities and the services visitors rely on.
