Tourism in Niue, Alofi, Oceania

Tourism has been identified as one of the three priority economic sectors (the other two are Fisheries and Agriculture) for economic development in Niue. In 2006, estimated visitor expenditure reached $1.6 million making Tourism a major export industry for Niue. Niue will continue to receive direct support from the Government and overseas donor agencies. Air New Zealand is the sole airline serving Niue, flying to Niue once a week. It took over after Polynesian Airlines stopped flying in November 2005. There is currently a tourism development strategy to increase the number of rooms available to overseas tourists at a sustainable level. Niue is also trying to attract foreign investors to invest in the tourism industry of Niue by offering import and company tax concessions as incentives.

  1. This is the official line in Niue. Sadly for previous investors in the tourism sector, locals do not want tourism, the 40% per capitor public servants happy to leech aid money from overseas. Statements by government that they intent to promote tourism is a facade designed to bring in even more aid in the name of tourism development but often just ends up in bureacrats and consultant's pockets.
