What’s cooking at the BFTE

The Cooks Islands has been well represented at the current Bula Fiji Tourism Exchange show in Nadi, Fiji with the following companies in attendance:
Air Rarotonga, Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa, Cook Islands Tourism Corporation, Cook Islands Tours, Crown Beach Resort, Little Polynesian Resort, Manuia Beach / Lagoon Lodges / Castaway, Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel and Villas, Muri Beach Club Hotel, Raina Lagoon Bungalows, Royale Takitumu, Sanctuary Rarotonga, Sunset Resort, Tamanu Beach, The Edgewater Resort & Spa, The Rarotongan Resort & Spa, Turama Pacific Travel Group.
The show has been held in fine weather and the Cooks in their uniforms have again stood out. The numbers of wholesalers was a little down on previous years however the quality of buyers has been very sound and they show great interest in the go forward positions of the Cook Islands
This has been a good time for all to recap with the AUSTRALIAN MARKET on the Sydney flight and our activities that are fully underway. The Australian wholesalers are all very happy going forward with our flight.
The Cooks team have also had the time for further discussions on flight access and marketing opportunities with both Air New Zealand and Air Pacific
The Roadshow set for 31MAY – 08 June in Australia is getting fantastic numbers with two venues Sydney and Melbourne full at 120 agents within just two days of release of invites and other cities filling fast so we are in for a very good response to our training seminars and our flight.
