Vanuatu's annual two-day travel industry event, Tok Tok, has welcomed 50 buyers across seven countries, including Australia, to discover the South Pacific Island's latest and greatest offerings.
Now in its 16th year, Tok Tok, is showcasing 53 local sellers – including eight new operators – across a range of boutique and mid-level accommodation offerings, fresh touring options and locally owned products, all available for face-to-face meetings. An anticipated 1,600 individual appointments are set to take place across the course of the event.
Tok Tok will officially launch on the morning of Thursday 30 August followed by a buyers' function, featuring live local entertainment at the beautiful Port Vila Seafront Precinct. The event will round-out with a spectacular Gala dinner tomorrow evening (Friday 31 August) at this year's host venue, Warwick Le Lagon.
Pre-famils also coincided with the event, providing the opportunity for wholesalers to experience Vanuatu's distinct offerings firsthand, including swimming in the breathtaking natural blue holes on Espiritu Santo and a once-in-a-lifetime experience on Tanna Island's Mt Yasur – one of the world's most accessible volcanoes. Attendees were also treated to exclusive site visits through Vanuatu's newest boutique accommodation offerings, Rockwater Resort and Black Pearl Resort, located on Tanna and Espiritu Santo respectively.
