Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority says it will put forward policy agendas to support the growth of Tourism Industry in PNG. This includes showcasing of the best practices that promote inclusively and sustainable tourism initiatives. These remarks were featured in the opening statement made by TPA Chief Executive Officer, Jerry Agus at the start of the 52nd APEC Tourism Working Group Meeting yesterday (May 29).

Though no specifics were made on what priority agendas TPA will be putting forward, TPA says the TWGM places PNG in a strategic position to lead discussions. As discussion on developing the tourism sector continues this week, the 21 member economies will have to foster ways forward to encourage development through travel and tourism.

Though the 21 economies are at different levels of development, the goals in developing their tourism sector are similar. For Papua New Guinea, TPA says the working group gives PNG the opportunity to highlight its challenges and opportunities that are available in the tourism sector. Outcomes from these discussions will be released when the meeting concludes.
