Visa & Passport Updates: A new ranking highlights where Pakistani travellers can go without a traditional visa first—covering parts of Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, with visa-free options listed for places including Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Rwanda, Seychelles, Barbados, Dominica, Haiti, Vanuatu and Trinidad and Tobago. Pacific Travel & Tourism: South Pacific Pocket Guide has launched VanuatuPocketGuide.com, built from a five-week on-the-ground research trip across Efate, Port Vila, Espiritu Santo and Malekula, with practical help for independent travellers on accommodation, transport, activities and culture. Diplomacy & Regional Links: US Ambassador Jared Novelly says the Cook Islands is a top priority and is set to travel across the Pacific soon, including Niue, as he pushes a “disruption” agenda tied to seabed resources and business opportunities. Sports & Visitor Interest: Niue is mentioned among athletes heading to the Pacific Strongest strongman event in Samoa, adding another reason for Pasifika sports fans to plan trips across the region.
