AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Cruise Growth: Norwegian Cruise Line has extended its 2026–27 South Pacific season, adding more close-to-home itineraries (8 to 13 days) for Australians, with a focus on culture, relaxation and easy multi-island travel. Fuel & Power Watch: Penrhyn Island has run down its last 100 litres of diesel and is borrowing 5,000 litres from police patrol boat Te Kukupa II, while restricting power use to 6am–10pm until a late-June fuel delivery. Tourism Under Pressure: Cook Islands tourism leaders say the country remains exposed to global economic slowdown risks, even as government points to a worst-case 5% GDP decline scenario. Sustainable Tourism Planning: Stakeholders met to review progress on the Destination Stewardship Plan and map the next phase of sustainable tourism development. Waste Concerns: A renewed debate is underway as visitor growth and new air links could push numbers beyond 200,000, raising fresh pressure on waste systems. Connectivity Boost: Air New Zealand launches a seasonal non-stop Christchurch–Rarotonga service up to three times weekly through October. Weather Alerts: A heavy rain and ocean warning has been issued for the Southern Group, including Aitutaki, with rough swells forecast. Health Update: The Cook Islands has regained dengue-free status after 26 days without a case, though other Pacific areas are still reporting outbreaks. Regional Aviation: The Cook Islands hosted ASPA81, bringing Pacific aviation and tourism leaders together on strategic partnerships to strengthen regional connectivity.
