Niue Community Attitudes Towards Tourism Niue Community Attitudes Towards Tourism NZTRI June 2020 Acknowledgement: The Niue Community Survey would not have been possible without our partners. Thank you to Niue Chamber of Commerce for their support towards this project. Special thanks also to Telecom Niue Ltd’s significant help in the data collection process. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Introduction • The Niue Community Attitudes Towards Tourism Survey explores the relationships between community and tourism from a number of perspectives including economic, cultural, environmental and in terms of general quality of life. • Online data collection was run with the support of Niue Chamber of Commerce and Niue Telecom. The survey ran from December 2019 to April 2020. 61 responses were collected. Based on the total population aged over 19 (2019 census) of 1,118 the sample size is estimated to be approximately 5.5% (NB for ethical reasons the survey only targeted those aged 18 and over). • The data is analysed and compared with a focus on the following variables: (1) Niuean and Non-Niuean; (2) Age groups; (3) Village of residence (Alofi and others); and (4) work in or own a business in tourism (tourism / non-tourism).

Phone 4219, E-mail : [email protected], web: www.gov.nu/statsniue Niue National Head Count - September 2004 Introduction Fakaalofa lahi atu. Following the devastating events of cyclone Heta in the opening weeks of this year (05 January 2004) there have been some noticeable observations of the changes to the number and settlement of the population of Niue. There was movement of people to and from overseas as well as from one village to another, more so the most affected coastal villages from Hikutavake to Avatele. In order to know the true picture of these movements and changes the national statistics office of the Government of Niue was tasked with the exercise to conduct a comprehensive “Population Head Count of Niue”. The objectives of this exercise was seen as: • To determine the total population of Niue and at the same time re-establish the nominal roll of all people living in Niue and where they are at a certain point in time to be used in estimating the population during that period; • To record the changes and update the appropriate information (Population and Households Census 2001 and the compilation of the National Accounts) contained in the department to reflect; • To serve as a data source for the electoral rolls, planning for school rolls, and social policy in general; and • To be used in times of emergencies such as cyclones as a “guiding roll” of residents or occupiers of the households in each villages.

    THE PACIFIC ISLANDS POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TE'O I.J. FAIRBAIRN CHARLES E. MORRISON RICHARD W. BAKER SHEREE A. GROVES THE PACIFIC ISLANDS THE EAST-WEST CENTER was established in Hawaii in 1960 by the United States Congress "to promote better relations and understand­ ing between the United States and the nations of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study, training, and research:' Some 2,000 research fellows, graduate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's interna­ tional staff on major Asia-Pacific issues relating to population, economic and trade policies, resources and the environment, culture and com­ munication, and international relations. Since 1960, more than 27,000 men and women from the region have participated in the Center's cooperative programs. Officially known as the Center for Cultural and Technical Inter­ change Between East and West, Inc., the Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Principal funding comes from the United States Congress. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agen­ cies and corporations. THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PROGRAM (JRP) became an autonomous program within the East-West Center in 1989. The Program advances the Center's overall objectives through work on foreign poli­ cy and related political, economic, and security issues. Program pri­ orities are to 1) promote research and dialogue directed toward creating a stable, peaceful Asia/Pacific community; 2) identify issues in U.S. re­ lations with the Asia/Pacific region and recommend means of strength­ ening these relations; 3) improve understanding of individual societies of the region through cooperative research; and 4) promote contact and dialogue among the region's future leaders.
