I ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pale ma 2024, noʻonoʻo mākou i kahi makahiki i hōʻike maoli i ka ikaika, kūpaʻa, a me ka lokahi o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi Pākīpika. He makahiki koʻikoʻi ia—he hōʻike kēlā me kēia i ko mākou kūpaʻa hui ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma kā mākou Pākīpika Blue.
I kēia makahiki, ua lawe mai ʻo SPTO i ka leo o ka Pākīpika i ke kahua honua, e lanakila ana i nā moʻolelo kūʻokoʻa, nā pilikia, a me nā manawa kūpono. Ma COP29 ma Azerbaijan, ua hōʻike ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi no ka manawa mua ma kēia ʻaha kūkā honua, e ʻike ana i ka hoʻokō ʻana o ka Pākīpika i ka hana aniau a me ka mālama ʻana i ko mākou hoʻoilina a me nā kaiāulu.
Mai nā kapakai o Samoa ma nā Commonwealth Heads of Government Ministers (CHOGM2024) a hiki i nā keʻena o ka 53rd Pacific Islands Forum i Tonga, ua hoʻoikaika mākou i nā pilina e hoʻohui i ko mākou wahi. Ma Antigua a me Barbuda ma ka SIDS Global Business Network Forum, ua hōʻike mākou i ke kūpaʻa o nā mokupuni liʻiliʻi, aʻo ka FESTPAC ikaika o Hawaii i hoʻolauleʻa i ka puʻuwai moʻomeheu o Oceania.
Ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo SPTO ma ka Seatrade Cruise Global ma Miami, ka World Tourism Cities Federation Summit ma Wellington, a me ka China International Travel Mart ma Shanghai. Ua hoʻonui kēlā me kēia paepae i ka nani, ka hana hou, a me ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki o ka mākaʻikaʻi Pākīpika.
Ma kahi kokoke i ka home, hoʻokipa mākou i ka Pākuʻi mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi o ka Pākīpika Hema ma Fiji, ua hoʻokō i nā mea nui ma ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hiki ma Sustainable Tourism, me ka Pacific Tourism Data Initiative and Digital Measurement Workshops e pili ana i nā kihi a pau o ko mākou ʻāina—mai Tonga a Timor Leste, Vanuatu a i Yap. Ma o ka Aviation and Tourism Board Governance Training ma Canberra, ua hoʻoikaika mākou i nā kumu no ka ulu a me ka pilina e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka mea koʻikoʻi o kā mākou makahiki ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Hoʻolālā Hoʻolālā Maikaʻi 2025-2029, he hihiʻo wiwo ʻole i paʻa i ka hoʻomau, ka hoʻomau, ka hoʻololi kikohoʻe, ka pilina a me ka launa pū ʻana. ʻO kēia palapala alanui ko mākou panana no ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana, e hōʻoia ana i ka holomua ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi Pākīpika ma waena o ka honua loli.
Ke hoʻokipa nei mākou i ka makahiki 2025, e hāpai mākou i ka ikaika a me ka manaʻolana o 2024. E hoʻohuli pū mākou i kā mākou ʻike i ʻoiaʻiʻo, e hoʻokumu i kahi ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi e hāpai i nā kaiāulu, mālama i ko mākou kaiapuni, a hōʻike i ka ʻuhane like ʻole o ka Pākīpika Blue.
I ko mākou mau lālā, nā hoa pili, a me nā mea kuleana—ʻo kou makemake, kākoʻo a me kou hoʻolaʻa ʻana ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoikaika ma hope o kēlā me kēia kūleʻa i kēia makahiki. Mahalo iā ʻoe no ka hele ʻana i kēia huakaʻi me mākou.
Na kēia kau ʻahaʻaina e lawe mai iā ʻoe i ka hauʻoli, ka maluhia, a me nā manawa kilokilo me kāu poʻe aloha. E hele kāua i 2025 mākaukau e ʻālohilohi ma mua o ka wā.
