LUKIM PNG NAU EXPO 2006

First held in March 2004, the Expo was established to provide an opportunity for tourism operators to showcase PNG’s diversity of tourism product to the traveling public. It became the perfect platform to introduce and promote the newly established PNG Tourism Industry Association (PNGTIA) and has become an important event for PNGTIA members. The second Expo in 2005 saw travel trade visitors from the major markets of Australia, United States, United Kingdom and Scandinavia. For people who sell the PNG product overseas, the Expo provides a perfect opportunity to learn about the product and meet the people in the industry. This aspect of the event will increase over the years, as word about the Expo continues to spread. In 2006 we again anticipate travel trade visitors from these major markets. The purpose of the Expo is two-fold: To present the tourism product to the traveling public. To provide a means for the travel industry to interact with tourism operators for mutual benefit. As well as international trade, travel agents from around the country are also invited to attend.  As well as mainstream tourism operators and agencies, the Expo has attracted as exhibitors, businesses allied to the industry (Post PNG, Brian Bell) as they too recognize the advantages of promoting their product range through the Expo. The Expo was developed and managed by an independent committee of interested government, tourism and business representatives, who recognized the need for a single event focused on tourism. It continues to earn strong support from the business community through sponsorships and other means of assistance. Over the years, The Expo has been fortunate to receive sponsorship and assistance from SP Brewery, Air Niugini, and the Media Council of PNG, Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority and members of the tourism industry. Each year, the committee strives to get it bigger and better.
