Vanuatu’s tourism industry faces an uncertain future

Vanuatu’s tourism-reliant economy is facing an uncertain future following the collapse of its national carrier, Air Vanuatu.
Sky News has spoken to a number of local tourism operators who say they worry that the airline’s reputation for being unreliable will have a long-term impact on the country’s international reputation for holidaymakers.
Last week, the company cut off a vital tourism lifeline for the country when it was liquidated.
Many visitors outside the main island remain stranded without commercial domestic flights.

Does that mean Australian councils won't be having their "meetings" there?

So sad, one of my favourite destinations, I feel sorry for the people who rely on tourism 😢

Virgin Australia or Bonza if it could hold out would make a good fit

It shouldn't be so expensive there, any wonder why people would rather go elsewhere...

Now they will see what a fossil fuel free future means for them.

vanuatu is a string of islands which are situated in a zone which hosts the richest deposits of gold and copper in the world. I wonder who will come to mine those deposits once the failed economy of vanuatu collapses.

Stay in your own country and fix the problems. Don't bring them to AUS.
