A planned meeting between PNG Tourism Promotion Authority and the relevant concerned authorities and partners in bringing an Australian National Rugby Leagure (NRL) Premiership round to Papua New Guinea in the year 2024/2025 went successful on the weekend during the magic round in Brisbane.
This is in light of PNGTPA’s drive to develop Sports Tourism in PNG through its MICE program. Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions; an area which they believe can showcase PNG to the world. and generate greater awareness about PNG as a desirable tourism destination.
“There are massive benefits from Sports Tourism given the bigger picture of how sports can come into play especially with rugby league, where it is widely followed right across our country,” Eric Uvovo, the Chief Executive officer of PNGTPA said.
To start off this great journey to ensure an NRL match is played in PNG, a group of PNG delegates led by Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture Hon. Isi Henry Leonard, TPA’s Executive Officer Eric Uvovo and two of his staff from the Marketing Division, Director Marketing, Alice Kuaningi and Marketing Officer, Simon Pih met with the NRL and relevant partners during the Magic round in Brisbane. The meetings were to discuss a way forward in bringing an NRL premiership round to PNG in 2024/2025.
The journey and dialogue started off last year when TPA came on board sponsoring PNGRFL for its world Cup campaign and also getting in touch with PNG rugby league icon and current Melbourne Storms star Justin Olam to be TPA’s Tourism Brand Ambassador.
TPA also met Mr. Norm Black, the Founder, Managing Director of Trip-A-Deal, NRLs Mr. Shaun McMartin CFO, NRL Vaughan Vitale (Government partnership) and others was a step in the right direction putting together what needs to be done in order that the aim and goal of hosting a NRL Match in PNG look certain.
The meeting was organised and facilitated by David Rawlings, the current Manager for Justin Olam.
PNGTPA CEO Uvovo thanked Rawlings for his time and effort in ensuring the meeting with the respective rugby league people were meaningful.
“We thank David for organising these important meetings looking forward to our continued dialogue to ensure we achieve the outcome of our plans,” said Uvovo.
Minister for Tourism, Arts & Culture, Hon. Isi Henry Leonard who also attended the meetings, gave his undertaking that he will support PNGTPA with this initiative. He further stated that he will brief his colleague Minister for Sports and other relevant PNG agencies to work with PNGTPA in implementing this brilliant concept of Sports Tourism starting off with an NRL match.

THE Tourism Promotion Authority proudly launched its four-year Corporate Plan 2023-2026, at The Stanley Hotel in Port Moresby, last week Friday 17th March, 2023.
Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Hon. Isi Henry Leonard, was present at the momentous occasion to officially launch the newly developed Corporate Plan.
“The country’s tourism industry is a thriving sector that has so much potential and is integral to PNG’s development agenda. Being the statutory body established by the Government to manage and promote the country’s tourism interest to the world, PNG TPA needs a clear directive to achieving its mandated tasks; and this policy document has been produced to direct its mission and purpose to achieving just that,” Minister Leonard said.
He added, “The previous Corporate Strategy expired in 2014, which means the agency has been operating over the last eight years without one in place”
“The re-emergence of a new Corporate Strategy demonstrates a renewed and stronger commitment by PNG TPA to make a positive difference in growing the tourism sector”
Hon. Isi Leonard further stated, “The PNGTPA Corporate Plan 2023-2026 sets a clear vision for the agency and articulates well what PNGTPA will do in the next four years, consistent with the Tourism Promotion Authority Act and the Tourism Sector Development Plan 2022-2026.”
Minister Leonard also recalled the devastating impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the travel industry worldwide, especially the resulting loss of trillions of US dollars in international tourism receipts.
He also pointed out PNG TPA’s shift in focus of its promotions towards domestic tourism, declaring that the Corporate Plan will be able to assist and guide the organisation in developing this overlooked area of destination marketing.
Chief Executive Officer of the PNG TPA, Mr. Eric Mossman Uvovo, opened the event with an official welcome to the Tourism Minister; including the heads of PNG TPA’s sister agencies under the Ministry of Tourism Arts and Culture: the National Cultural Commission and the National Museum and Art Gallery; as well as other distinguished heads and representatives from PNG’s tourism industry, and its stakeholder partners from the private and public sector.
In his speech, CEO Uvovo emphasised how his organisation’s four-year Corporate Plan was developed to align itself with the Tourism Sector Development Plan 2022-2026, which was launched last year.
“The Corporate Plan is the operation plan of the bigger plan – the Tourism Sector Development Plan 2022-2026. The Corporate Plan 2023-2026 is a small strategic plan that spins the wheels of the bigger plan – the TSDP 2022-2026,” explained Mr. Uvovo.
He stressed that his responsibility as CEO, and that of the senior management of the PNG TPA, was to successfully implement the corporate plan.
Mr Uvovo also mentioned in his speech that the PNG TPA’s priority for the year 2023 is dedicated to reviewing the current National Tourism Policy 1995, and formulating a new National Tourism Policy Framework that will guide PNG’s tourism growth into the future.
The new PNG TPA Corporate Plan has seven strategic priorities, these are:
These seven priorities are also derived from the Tourism Sector Development Plan 2022-2026.

“Cruise tourism has huge potential benefits for the country, and the PNG TPA is committed to supporting the tourism industry in maritime provinces develop their cruise tourism products and infrastructure”
“Developing cruise tourism requires a whole of government approach, most important of all, it needs a provincial government working together with its local tourism businesses to develop a conducive environment for cruise ships and the tourists they bring,” Mr. Uvovo further stated.
An official welcome party by the Milne Bay Provincial Government, the local tourism industry and government agencies cordially greeted the cruise ship’s management, exchanging gifts and putting on a cultural performance.

Port Moresby, PAPUA NEW GUINEA (13 February 2023) —The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Tourism Promotion Authority (TPA) has commenced a series of regional consultations on the development of a new PNG National Tourism Policy and Marketing Strategy.
The TPA, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI), will travel across PNG from 9-28 February 2023 to speak with tourism industry stakeholders as part of its National Tourism Policy 1995 review.
The regional consultations will cover PNG’s four regions—New Guinea Islands (Kokopo), Momase (Madang), Highlands (Mt Hagen) and Southern (Port Moresby).
The first consultations, held on 9-10 February in Kokopo, were attended by the region’s tourism industry stakeholders, operators, guides, event organizers and provincial tourism offices.
Attendees discussed PNG tourism policy reform issues, priorities, and options; the policy development process; future opportunities for New Guinea Islands’ tourism industry; and the role of the TPA in enabling, marketing, and coordinating the tourism sector.
PNG TPA Chief Executive Officer Eric Mossman Uvovo said consultations on the new National Tourism Policy and Marketing Strategy were critical, and would inform subsequent legislative amendments to the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority Act 1993.
“Since the establishment of PNG’s National Tourism Policy 1995 and Destination Marketing Strategy 2018-2022, a lot has changed,” Mr. Mossman Uvovo said.
“The tourism industry is primarily driven by the private sector, so these consultations are important to ensure the new policy helps PNG to develop tourism sustainably, maximise its resources, and position itself as a potential lead Pacific tourism destination.”
Alongside these private sector consultations, PSDI held interviews with multiple PNG government departments and agencies to gauge views on the policy and potential avenues of reform.
PSDI is an ADB technical assistance program undertaken in partnership with the Governments of Australia and New Zealand. PSDI supports ADB’s 14 Pacific developing member countries to improve the enabling environment for business and to achieve inclusive, private sector-led economic growth.
It is supporting the TPA to rebuild the PNG tourism sector following COVID-19, and to undertake longer-term tourism sustainability and resilience planning.
The new PNG National Tourism Policy is scheduled for completion by April 2023.
The PNG TPA is a statutory body funded by the Government of PNG. The ultimate goal of the TPA is to market and promote PNG to the world as a desirable travel destination.

Chief Executive Officer of the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority, Eric Mossman Uvovo, has expressed his utmost disappointment regarding the incident that occurred in Kavieng, New Ireland province, reported on the Post Courier on Friday 13th of January. “Kavieng is amongst the top tourist destinations in PNG, it is known for its beauty, friendly people, and safe environment. I am truly devastated to hear that our visitors to PNG have been hurt physically and psychologically by this traumatic experience.”
CEO Uvovo also expressed his disappointment with how the story had been reported, stating that a number of statements in the original newspaper article were incorrect. “I can not stress enough the significance of fact-checking such sensitive stories by journalists before publishing damaging headlines that add volume to the country’s negative perception. PNGTPA spends millions of public funds every year to market and promotes PNG as a tourist destination in the Pacific, yet all it takes is one headline without conducting your due diligence on the facts surrounding incidents, which set us ten steps back in our efforts. With saying this, I do appreciate and understand that there are other social issues that contribute to such crimes, however, I appeal to the media fraternity, to be mindful, that damage of this magnitude has long-term effects on economic sectors such as tourism where our land, people and environment are the assets we sell to the global market.
CEO Uvovo, speaking on behalf of the victim, strongly condemn the leak of the photograph used for the front-page article stating that this photo was taken for evidence collection and to aid the investigation, not to be publicly circulated via print and social media. “I have personally met with the victim of this heinous crime who is still visibly distressed. She will be seeking legal advice for the gross violation of privacy by those present at the crime scene for leaking the image.” CEO Uvovo stated that the victim will have the full support of the Authority to seek legal action where possible, stating that “click-bait or sensationalized stories need to be properly vetted, details and facts checked. I appeal to all journalists, to do your due diligence checks, you possess a power that can make or break a destination for tourism, be very mindful of that.”
In closing CEO Uvovo stressed “I appeal to the government and line agencies responsible, please invest in the youth bulge of PNG. PNG has an increasingly large youth population. When we can not create incubation programs or make alternative technical/vocational options available, we end up with a significant population of youth who turn to drugs and alcohol, resulting in criminal activities. Create opportunities for young people, create jobs for our youth and this will help to mitigate the rising crime rates all across the country”.

The emergence of the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) in late 2019 and later declared as a global pandemic in March 2020 has shifted the economic landscape of the world. Notably, the tourism and transport sector have been the hardest hit economic sectors amongst others.
Since the elevated risk of novel corona virus, the global tourism industry has experienced drastic economic impacts with travel coming to a standstill, therefore it is imperative that we navigate the unparalleled social and economic emergency that is COVID-19.
The Safe Traveler PNG Guidelines Program is an initiative of the Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority (PNGTPA) developed in December 2020 with the endorsement of the PNGTPA management and board, National Controller’s Office and the National Department of Health.
The program focuses on the ‘Niupela Pasin’ or simply reiterating the Covid19 health and safety protocols in the tourism industry. The operators are to follow the Covid19 protocols in order to maintain a clean, healthy and safe business for their guests and employees.
Following the passing of the National Pandemic Act 2020 and the new measures publicly circulated by the SOE Controller of PNG, PNGTPA has a responsibility to ensure tourism industry members are;
These guidelines are our way of ensuring implementation of this Act within the tourism and hospitality sector.
The following Seven Guidelines have been created for:
Aim of the program:
Following the endorsement of the program, awareness campaigns were delivered in mid-2021 to East New Britain, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, West Sepik and the National Capital District. These visits focused on the objectives of the program to encourage membership. Membership to the program is free hence tourism operators are welcome to join the program at any time.

There is no denying that the global travel and tourism industry has grown exponentially over the past two decades.
E-commerce and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) have been the biggest driving force of online travel bookings since 2018. Conversion to payments complete the final step of the sales funnel through online payment gateways, and the results of this successful process can be seen from the statistics of the Global Online Travel Market Report with OTA’s generating over 800 billion US dollars in global travel spend in 2021 [i].
The big names in our Papua New Guinea tourism industry like Air Niugini, the Coral Sea Hotels and Kumul IHG, as well as a handful of tour operators – are making it much easier for travel to and within Papua New Guinea with the incorporation of successful online booking and payment systems.
However, the biggest challenge for the industry is how to get SME tourism businesses to also use and benefit from e-commerce, as well as market and promote their products and services online – especially local accommodation providers and tour operators.
Continuous engagement with the industry has revealed to the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority (PNGTPA) the impediments facing tourism businesses and agencies. Many of the issues shared by the industry are rooted in inadequate utility services in their areas of operation, especially electrical and ICT infrastructure that stifle the digital progress of our tourism sector. This is obvious for tourism businesses and agencies who operate in rural locations, where many of our nation’s well-known tourism attractions are found.
Through the Tourism Sector Development Plan 2022-2026 (TSDP), the PNGTPA is committed to working with relevant government authorities and stakeholders to enhance and improve the tourism sector in Papua New Guinea. One of the key strategies of the TSDP is: “Positioning the Tourism Industry as one of the Strategic Drivers of PNG’s Sustainable Economic Growth, where the Government of PNG and the private sector invest in enabling infrastructure, utilities and security with safety to solidly ground tourism as the mainstay for PNG beyond the minerals boom” [ii].
The TSDP identifies seven (7) subsectors in our national Tourism Sector – two (2) of these subsectors directly reference the development of ICT infrastructure in Papua New Guinea to benefit our tourism industry. These two subsectors are the: Provider & Supplier Subsector and the Critical Enablers Subsector.
Key stakeholders the PNGTPA will be partnering with to implement projects focused on improving our tourism industry’s e-commerce and ICT experience are the Department of Information Communication Technology (DICT) and its support agency NICTA, as well as national and corporate financial institutions like the Bank of Papua New Guinea, BSP Limited, Kina Bank and others.
Digital transformation is high on the PNG Government’s agenda, and with the creation of the Digital Government Act (2022), spearheaded by the DICT and NICTA, the journey to improving ICT in Papua New Guinea has become somewhat smoother. Albeit the focus of the Act predominantly serves the digital transformation of government agencies, the PNGTPA identifies provincial tourism offices, bureaus and authorities as beneficiaries of the Act, and therefore key agents in tourism product development, as a result supporting their digital transformation is a necessary measure. Provincial tourism agencies require tourism product databases that will feed the planned national database – of which the PNGTPA will have access to better serve and guide its mandate of marketing and promoting PNG as a desirable travel destination.
Digitalization of tourism in PNG is a necessary state the PNGTPA is striving to achieve for the industry it serves and can only be realized through a holistic approach. The digitalization process has already begun in PNG, although extremely limited to the bigger players in the tourism sector, the PNGTPA is forging a way forward to strengthen and enable the nation’s tourism subsectors, especially local tourism SME’s and provincial tourism offices. The PNG tourism industry is ready for digitalization, but it needs a coordinated effort led by the PNGTPA and its partners to be fully realized.
