Company Profile

The Vanuatu Tourism Office (VTO) in Australia actively promotes Vanuatu’s 83 idyllic islands to the travel industry and consumers.

We are at hand to support travel agents with information, brochure requests and regular training sessions. Agents in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane can attend the Vanuatu Tourism Offices’ regular agent roadshows and we also travel to regional areas periodically for information workshops. Later this year, we will launch an online training programme to help more Australian travel agents to become Vanuatu specialists.

The VTO in Port Vila host an annual trade show, Tok Tok in Vanuatu. Australian wholesalers that sell Vanuatu are invited to attend to develop their knowledge and product selection.  

The Vanuatu Tourism Office also actively promote awareness of the destination and encourage consumers to visit their local travel agent through regular consumer marketing campaigns which include press, tv and online advertising as well as an extensive public relations programme.
