Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – Friday 14th June, 2024:
The Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority (PNG TPA), National Capital District Commission (NCDC) and the National Gaming Control Board (NGCB) are excited to announce the Papua New Guinea Tourism China Roadshow, scheduled to take place in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China, from Tuesday 18 to Thursday 20 June, 2024. This initiative aims to enhance Papua New Guinea’s appeal as a premier travel destination for Chinese tourists.

Established in 2002, the China Ready Program ensures that target travel destinations and service providers meet Chinese hospitality standards. The program is operated by the CBISN, exclusively issued by the China Outbound Tourism Research Academy (COTA), and endorsed by the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The upcoming roadshow builds on the success of the China Ready Workshop held on April 24, 2024, at the APEC Haus in Port Moresby. This event attracted over 60 tourism service providers, who were trained to accommodate Chinese tourists.
The China Ready Program aims to prepare PNG’s tourism industry to effectively welcome Chinese travellers. With the recent establishment of direct flights from Guangzhou to Port Moresby via China Southern Airlines, a significant increase in tourism is expected in the coming months.
