Last update: 12 hours agoAranui Cruises Leadership: Phillippe Wong, the third-generation CEO of Aranui Cruises, is steering the passenger-freighter into “a new era” while keeping its core job: supplying remote Marquesas communities.

Local Politics Ahead of 2027 Games: French Polynesia’s President Moetai Brotherson reshuffled the cabinet: Raihei Ansquer takes health and Vanina Pommier takes sports (and youth, arts, delinquency prevention), drawing opposition criticism just over a year before the 2027 Pacific Games. Industry Moves: Air Tahiti Nui launched a Tiare Specialist Program for travel advisors, with tiered certifications and rewards aimed at boosting Tahiti-focused sales.
