  • The Impacts of Tourism on the Local Residents of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
    Thoughts of the Local Residents of Espiritu Santo on Australian Visitors Frances Cassidy, MBus, BED, DipT The University of Southern Queensland Toowoomba, Qld. Australia. 4350 Email: [email protected] Abstract Mass tourism, which may lead to environmental problems, cultural and social degradation, distortion of economic benefits and disease, particularly in poorer countries, provides financial reasons for preserving cultural, historical and natural resources or traditions, which otherwise may be neglected. Vanuatu, is a less developed country (LDC), reliant on tourism for such benefits. Therefore, this study focuses on identifying the views of local residents and the impact on their lifestyles and perceptions of Australian tourist expectations. Analysis revealed that most Ni Vanuatu want tourism development on Espiritu Santo and Tangoa Island, as it hasn‟t yet impacted on their traditional lifestyle. They were concerned about improved road needs, accommodation and tourist attractions. i Thoughts of the Local Residents of Espiritu Santo on Australian Visitors Abstract Mass tourism, which may lead to environmental problems, cultural and social degradation, distortion of economic benefits and disease, particularly in poorer countries, provides financial reasons for preserving cultural, historical and natural resources or traditions, which otherwise may be neglected.

Because a suitable national consultant was unavailable at that time, SOPAC provided the services of its Energy Adviser. In addition to discussions in Port Vila, there were field trips to visit renewable energy projects (and potential project sites) on the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately the head of Government Energy Unit and several other key staff were unavailable for discussions during the mission’s visit. The local offices of the international oil companies were unwilling to provide any information on their product sales, an omission that has hindered some analysis. This report reviews the status of energy sector activities in Vanuatu through February 2004. An earlier draft of this report was reviewed by the Vanuatu National PIREP Committee (the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change), which provided thoughtful, useful and substantive feedback, and by Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), United Nations Development Programme and others.

  • A Political Memoir of the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides
    A Political Memoir of the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides Arrival: Port Vila, Santo and the Condominium I arrived in the New Hebrides by Qantas flying boat on 26 March 1953. As viewed from the harbour the town could not have looked very different from the Port Vila that Edward Jacomb enthused over upon his arrival on a Burns Philp steamer in 1907.1 There was no water-front reclamation, Fila Island canoes were drawn up along the beach and the great majority of the buildings were constructed of wood with red or green roofs, many of them being hidden by the luxuriant vegetation. I had come out from England to take up a junior post at the British Residency (BR). The British Resident Commissioner (BRC) was Brigadier H.J.M. Flaxman, but he was on leave when I arrived and Mr. Bernard Blackwell, an Australian, was acting Resident Commissioner. He had married a sister of the well-known British settler, Geoffrey Seagoe. M. Pierre Anthonioz was then the French Resident Commissioner (FRC) and had moved into a new French Residency (FR) only the year before—into the building which was to become State House, the official residence of the first President of Vanuatu, until it was unfortunately wrecked by Hurricane Uma in 1987. This was a very modern building and quite unlike any other in Port Vila. One witty soul said of it, ‘C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas la gare’ (It is beautiful, but it is not the railway station)! The BRC lived in splendid isolation at the top of 185 steps on Iririki Island, in a predominantly wooden structure that dated back to 1903.

Under those circumstances, this study was conducted aiming to collect supplemental data on coral reef conditions and water current of the bay as well as to develop mitigation measures and monitoring plans after the construction work in order to realize the project with the loan assistance by the Government of Japan.

  • The Case of Vanuatu
    Tourist Accommodation Choice and Destination Development: The Case of Vanuatu Anna Addison A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of International Tourism Management (MITM) 11 November 2019 School of Hospitality and Tourism Faculty of Culture and Society Attestation of Authorship I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person (except where explicitly defined in the acknowledgements), nor material which to a substantial extent has been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institution of higher learning. (Signature) Anna Addison Date: i Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the contributions from all the tourism stakeholders of the South Pacific islands for making a difference in the effort to advance social and economic development in the region. While working at Air New Zealand, I developed a passion for the South Pacific islands and realised the potential that they offer for travel and tourism. This research is just my small contribution to the sustainable tourism development of this region of the world. I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Simon Milne for his patience, guidance and insightful advice. Thanks also to my secondary supervisor, Dr Mindy Sun, for her kind and supportive approach, and to Dr Carolyn Deuchar for her mentorship. I am very grateful also to my parents, Dr Kevin O’Brien and the late Sheila O’Brien, for teaching and showing me the life skills to be resilient and self-reflective.
