The Department of Tourism Vanuatu (DoT) works enthusiastically in improving the competitiveness of Vanuatu as a tourist destination. We work on initiatives with potential to further develop tourism and the overall economy of Vanuatu, whilst staying true to our cultural identity and values in sustainability. DoT aims to advance Vanuatu’s competitiveness as a sustainable tourist destination by way of enhancing Ni-Vanuatu participation and ownership of tourism businesses, and thus distribute development benefits and access to services equitably and sustainably throughout the islands.
The Sustainable Islands Tourism Conference (SITC) is a part of the Vanuatu DoT’s Sustainable Tourism Policy, which was launched in May 2019, and is an example of our efforts to pursue opportunities that will benefit our people and our country.
