Tourism Data & Planning: The Pacific Tourism Organisation, with Niue Tourism Office via the Pacific Tourism Data Initiative, released the 2024 International Visitor Survey—showing New Zealand as the top source market (84% of visitors), with most travellers aged 60–69—aimed at guiding Niue’s next tourism moves. Climate & Resilience Funding: The GEF approved new adaptation funding for vulnerable countries including Niue, with over USD 67m in fresh support and major co-financing expected to back flood/coastal risk and food-and-water security work. Forestry Skills for Climate Resilience: FAO backed a Samoa–Fiji forestry exchange training officers in sustainable teak and pine production and management, targeting seed propagation and sustainable harvesting to close technical and data gaps. Fuel & Power Pressure in the Region: Fuel prices keep climbing; Penrhyn Island in the Cook Islands ran down diesel and borrowed supply from a police patrol boat, while restricting power use as battery replacements are underway. Blue Economy Finance: A feature highlights Niue’s Ocean Wide (NOW) model—turning ocean protection into a sovereign-led trust structure to fund long-term conservation and climate resilience. Fisheries Protection Careers: A profile spotlights Samoa’s fisheries officer Stella Sahara Tuuau, now helping with Operation Tui Moana 2026 surveillance.
