Tahiti and Her Islands hailed for its vision of sustainable tourism

Under the leadership of Vaihere Lissant, The Islands of Tahiti have affirmed a vision where economic growth is never at the expense of environmental or cultural integrity. This award recognises a holistic approach to tourism: a model that protects the lagoons and valleys, values ancestral traditions and ensures that the spin-offs directly benefit local populations. By positioning the destination as a benchmark for responsible tourism in the South Pacific, this leadership has injected new energy into the deployment of the FM27 strategy.

Beyond the individual distinction, it is the whole philosophy of Mana and Polynesian hospitality that is being celebrated on the world stage. By receiving this award, Tahiti Tourisme is confirming its commitment to developing innovative and structuring initiatives, proving that enlightened and passionate management can make the protection of a heritage its greatest attraction. This international recognition reinforces Fenua’s credibility as a pioneer of inclusive, ethical and forward-looking tourism.
