AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tourism & Visitor Economy: April 2026 in Hawaii saw visitor spending rise to $1.77bn (+4.8%) even as total arrivals slipped to 828,959 (-0.5%); air arrivals were 801,335 and cruise arrivals 27,624, with higher average daily spend ($278, +14.1%) and a shorter average stay (7.69 days). Pacific Security & Training: AFP and French Armed Forces in French Polynesia (FAPF) trained 12 Kiribati maritime police divers in Tahiti to strengthen counter-narcotics and underwater inspection for illicit cargo, including PADI certification and operational dives. Regional Crime & Trafficking Links: Fiji’s $3bn cocaine bust tied to the abandoned Vatia jetty was described at a transnational crime summit as trafficked from Colombia and linked to Clan del Golfo, with police disputing some allegations about prior movement via Suva. Cruise Demand Signals for French Polynesia: Viking’s 2028–29 world cruise bookings open, with the 142-day Viking Vesta itinerary calling at Hawaii and French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora) plus the Cook Islands, alongside Panama Canal transit and stops across Asia, Africa and Europe. Diplomacy with Economic Spillovers: Papua New Guinea’s PM James Marape announced a new PNG embassy in Paris during talks with President Macron, aiming to deepen cooperation on climate, trade, security and development—potentially benefiting Pacific partners including French Polynesia.
