World Tourism Day – Tourism and Peace

To honour this theme, Tahiti Tourisme is rolling out a rich and varied programme over three days. From Papeete to the farthest archipelagos, Fenua is transformed into a stage for sharing: exhibitions of traditional crafts at the Assembly, kaina musical entertainment at the Papeete Market and days of relaxation on a pedestrianised seafront. Free access to cultural highlights such as the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands and Fare Natura invites residents and visitors to reclaim a heritage that is, in essence, a vehicle for peace.

Innovation is also on the agenda with a life-size treasure hunt on Tahiti and Moorea via the “Grall” application, offering a fun way to discover local treasures. From welcoming visitors with flowers at airports to handing out Tahitian tiaras at emblematic sites such as Teahupo’o and Pointe Vénus, every gesture is an ode to hospitality. By inviting people to wear their best local attire under the hashtag #JMTauFenua, this celebration reaffirms that tourism in Polynesia is above all a story of the heart, respect and harmony between peoples.
