IPA acting managing director, Clarence Hoot, says PNG can compete with other tourism hot spots in the Pacific and Oceania Region by selling our brand of ‘adventure tourism’.
“We can go hiking, you go to the forest and do a bit of bird watching, you can go rafting, you can go scuba diving, so our focus should be more towards adventurous tourism,” said Hoot.
He said countries like Fiji received many tourists based on what he coined “laid-back tourism” where tourists go to relax.
