AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tourism Demand: April 2026 visitor spending in Hawaii hit $1.77bn (+4.8% y/y) even as total arrivals slipped slightly (-0.5%), with higher average daily spend (+14.1%) helping offset fewer visitors. Maritime Security: The AFP and French Armed Forces in French Polynesia trained Kiribati maritime police divers in Tahiti to strengthen counter-narcotics work, including underwater inspection and operational dives, with new equipment handed over. Cruise & Polynesia Connectivity: Viking unveiled its 2028–29 world cruise plans, including a 142-day itinerary that calls at Hawaii and French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora) plus the Cook Islands, alongside stops across Asia, Africa and Europe. Regional Aviation: The Cook Islands hosted ASPA81, bringing together Pacific airline and tourism leaders to focus on aviation–tourism partnerships and regional connectivity. Transnational Crime: Fiji’s major $3bn cocaine bust tied the drugs to Colombia’s Clan del Golfo, with authorities discussing the Pacific trafficking route and international links. Diplomacy & Trade Links: Papua New Guinea announced it will open an embassy in Paris, aiming to deepen cooperation with France on climate, security, development and potential spillovers for Pacific partners including French Polynesia.
