AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoTourism & Culture: A new travel feature spotlights how French Polynesia’s push to cap visitor numbers at about 280,000 a year is making places like Raiatea’s UNESCO Marae Taputapuatea feel calmer, with fewer crowds and more “real privacy.” Cruise Industry: Aranui Cruises opened bookings for its 2028 programme, touting its biggest season yet: 46 departures across Aranui V and the new Aranoa, with early-booking discounts and four itinerary styles including Austral/Society Islands, Pitcairn & Gambier, and a revised 12-day route adding Huahine. Voyaging & Weather: The Polynesian Voyaging Society is extending the Moananuiākea Voyage by a year, citing elevated Western North Pacific weather risks tied to El Niño and climate change; Hokule‘a and Hikianalia will reroute via additional stops including Fiji, then return through Aotearoa, Cook Islands and French Polynesia before continuing toward Micronesia and beyond. Luxury Travel Buzz: Multiple roundup-style pieces keep private-island romance in focus, highlighting French Polynesia’s The Brando on Tetiaroa as a benchmark for secluded, high-end stays.
