Last update: 9 hours ago

Rugby & Pasifika pride: The All Blacks kicked off the Nations Championship with a gritty 34-32 win over France in Christchurch, a match that highlighted Cook Islands links through coach David Rennie’s heritage and assistant Fa’alogo Tana Umaga, with Ardie Savea leading the side. Cruise planning: Nicko Cruises unveiled its 2027-28 world cruise on the Vasco da Gama, a 172-day “Big World Tour” from Lisbon to 41 countries, plus shorter segment options. Cook Islands politics & travel ties: Cook Islands United Party leader Te Ariki Heather says major talks with New Zealand can wait until after both countries’ elections, while ruling out a separate Cook Islands passport. Tourism data boost: The Pacific Tourism Organisation ran a New Zealand-funded workshop in Nadi to strengthen tourism research skills across nine Pacific nations, including the Cook Islands. Ocean & visitor safety: A reminder on coral and clam rules flags that protected species are frequently seized at borders, with permits needed for CITES-listed items. Sustainability at home: A Cook Islands plastic pollution update points to high beach litter levels on Rarotonga and Aitutaki, with plastics dominating rubbish found near tourist areas. Culture & events: Fiji’s FBC selected as host broadcaster for the inaugural People of the Pasifika 48-Hour Film Challenge, with Cook Islands, Samoa and Solomon Islands also taking part in September.
