As an official tourism partner for the Pacific Games, the Port Moresby Nature Park will be providing unlimited access to the 3000- plus athletes and officials.
Through this arrangement from July 2-22, services will include free shuttle buses from the Games Village to the Nature Park and the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority craft market area.
Discount entry will also apply to other official Games visitors including media, technical officials and VIP guests.
Nature Park’s general manager Michelle McGeorge said that part of hosting the best games ever included ensuring athletes and visitors have the best experience ever.
“Fortunately the Nature Park is located right next door to UPNG and the Games Village so it is perfect for us to showcase the animals, native plants and diverse culture to the rest of the world,” said McGeorge.
On the tourism benefits, director policy and planning at the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority, Alcinda Trawen, said the Games will provide a wonderful platform to promote and raise awareness of PNG as a tourism destination as well as show PNG’s natural attractions to our fellow Pacific Island neighbours.
The PNG Tourism Promotion Authority Craft market will be open at the Nature Park every day from 9am – 3pm, 2-22 July. The craft market will provide the opportunity for athletes to purchase souvenirs and take home gifts while not participating in their sports.
