AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Rare infection scare for visitors: A man was hospitalised in New Zealand after a rare Shewanella infection linked to a Cook Islands holiday; doctors say the likely route may have been raw fish consumption, but the exact source remains unclear, with clinicians stressing raw fish is still a local delicacy. Air links for South Pacific travellers: Air Tahiti Nui and Air Tahiti have activated a codeshare from June 3, letting passengers book one ticket for international flights plus inter-island connections to destinations including Rarotonga. Plastic pollution plan: The Cook Islands’ National Environment Service has engaged Ma’anga Consultancy to develop a National Action Plan under the Pacific Ocean Litter Project, aiming to cut single-use plastic and improve waste, recycling and behaviour change. Local paddling success: Cook Islands champion Reuben Dearlove won Masters Men 50 at Te Aito 2026 in Tahiti, with the team also preparing for the Vodafone Channel Race next week. Northern Group community outreach: Punanga Turuturu Itivaine completed a major outreach trip to Pukapuka, Rakahanga, Manihiki and Penrhyn, strengthening engagement across the remote islands. Tourism food culture push: The Cook Islands Tourism Corporation ran “Taste of the Cook Islands” at Te Tapora Kai to boost market foot traffic and showcase local dishes and vendors. Housing pressure letter: A reader argues tourism-driven short-term accommodation is squeezing long-term rentals, calling for urgent national attention to the housing crisis.
