Assessment of Tahiti and Her Islands by the World Council for Sustainable Tourism

The report’s conclusions salute French Polynesia’s exemplary vision, in particular its determination to regulate tourist flows to ensure a harmonious balance with the local population. The ambition to make tourism a driver of shared benefits for all the archipelagos is recognised as a major strength. However, the audit also identifies priority areas for improvement, such as reducing dependence on fossil fuels, strengthening public transport and more integrated management of vital resources such as water and waste.

On the cultural front, the GSTC is encouraging the centralisation and digitisation of heritage to ensure its transmission and conservation. By cross-referencing these results with the carbon footprint study and satisfaction surveys, Tahiti Tourisme now has a 360° vision to transform its challenges into opportunities. This commitment to global transparency reaffirms the destination’s determination to protect its Mana while offering a responsible travel experience that meets the climatic and social challenges of our century.
