Pacific Tourism Data: SPTO and the Niue Tourism Office (via the Pacific Tourism Data Initiative) shared key findings from the 2024 International Visitor Survey, with New Zealand the top source market (84%), followed by Australia (7%) and other Pacific Islands (4%), to help shape Niue’s next tourism strategy. Regional Trade & Tourism: Fiji’s Deputy PM and Tourism Minister Viliame Gavoka defended the South Pacific Tourism Exchange 2026, saying it drew 225+ participants (82 sellers, 60 international buyers) and added Industry Day and a Women in Business Showcase to improve market access for smaller, including Niue. Fuel & Power Pressure: Fuel prices keep climbing across the region; Penrhyn Island in the Cook Islands has run out of diesel (using borrowed supply from a police patrol boat) and is restricting power use while a battery replacement project continues. Honours Round-Up (NZ): Multiple King’s Birthday Honours 2026 lists were released, recognising people across sport, education, health and governance (including Beatrice Faumuinā and Suzie Bates), with details published in full lists. Community & Travel Links: Avele College Old Pupils Association chapters are preparing for a bi-yearly reunion (starting 04 June 2026), noting Niue’s past scholarship links to the school.
