AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Sports & Community: Netball Cook Islands has named a 19-member extended squad for the 2026 World Cup Regional Qualifiers in Tonga, with five Rarotonga-based players in the trialling group; some are fundraising for final trials in Brisbane where the top 12 will be selected. Youth & Elections: CINYC’s Kai Vānanga no te Uki o Āpōpō held livestreamed sessions in Titikaveka and Ngatangiia, putting youth voices front and centre as candidates discussed environment, economics, community and culture—especially the push to balance tourism growth with protecting land, lifestyle and heritage. Voyaging & Culture: The Marumaru Atua crew returned to Avana after a successful voyage to Mauke and Atiu, with weather forcing a change of plans back to Rarotonga while still building experience for newer sailors. Tourism Outlook: Tourism experts say Kiwis should plan smarter as Pacific borders reopen, with Cook Islands reopening booked for 14 January and calls for tourism that complements local life and safeguards culture and the environment. Health Workforce: The University of Auckland’s School of Nursing delivered advanced clinical training in Rarotonga for 15 Cook Islands nurses, strengthening the local health workforce through ongoing Pacific partnerships. Travel Rules: The Cook Islands is listed among visa-free destinations for Pakistani passport holders as the Henley Passport Index places Pakistan at 100th, giving access to 30 destinations. Hospitality Recognition: Rarotongan Beach Resort and Sanctuary Rarotonga-on the beach celebrated staff at annual awards, highlighting guest service moments that shape visitors’ holiday memories.
