AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

New Air Links: Air New Zealand launches a seasonal, non-stop Christchurch–Rarotonga service tonight, running up to three times a week through late October—an easier winter escape for South Islanders and a boost to Cook Islands connectivity. Dengue Update: The Cook Islands has been declared dengue-free after 26 days without a recorded case, following the last positive on 28 April—though officials urge residents and tourism businesses to stay vigilant. Sustainable Tourism Pressure: Tourism stakeholders are pushing back on “arrival numbers at all costs,” warning that visitor growth brings waste and environmental strain; the Destination Stewardship Plan is back on the agenda as leaders map the next phase. Economic Risk Watch: The tourism sector says the Cook Islands remains exposed to global slowdown risks, including scenarios of up to a 5% GDP decline, fuel price shocks and reduced travel demand. Regional Aviation Spotlight: The Cook Islands hosted ASPA81 in Rarotonga, bringing Pacific airline and tourism leaders together to strengthen aviation–tourism partnerships. Pacific Ocean Protection: Voyaging and ocean leaders gathered in Rapa Nui with Cook Islands participation to share wayfinding knowledge and collaborate on high-seas marine conservation. China Connectivity: PM Mark Brown’s historic visit to Wuzhou, China highlighted new cooperation pathways and connectivity linked to the MV Tuitui Moana.
