Worldwide recognition in Berlin

It was in Berlin that The Islands of Tahiti once again shone on the international stage, receiving the prestigious award for the best LGBTQIA+ honeymoon destination. Received by Tahiti Tourisme‘s Managing Director, Jean-Marc Mocellin, the award recognises a culture of hospitality that is deeply rooted in Polynesian values. By highlighting diversity and inclusion, the destination has become a preferred choice for couples looking for a romantic, secure and authentic setting.

A welcoming destination

“This award echoes our desire to promote Tahiti And Her Islands as a welcoming destination for everyone.”

Jean-Marc Mocellin - Managing Director of Tahiti Tourisme

The success of authenticity

The impact of the "Welcome Test" campaign

This award is the culmination of a bold strategy, illustrated by the emblematic “The Hospitality Test” campaign . By inviting real travellers to assess the friendliness of the islands, Tahiti Tourisme has proved that hospitality in Fenua is not just a marketing concept, but a reality. This international success echoes the recognition received at the 2024 Communication Awards, where the campaign already stood out for its relevance and the right tone in favour of tourism for all.

Beyond the trophy, it is the image of a modern and open Polynesia that is being celebrated. By choosing to address the LGBTQIA+ community directly and sincerely, the destination is strengthening its position as a leader in the Pacific. This award confirms that The Islands of Tahiti remains the ideal sanctuary for celebrating love in all its forms, driven by the power of Mana and a tradition of tolerance that is the pride of our archipelagos.
