The Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority (TPA) strongly advises all visitors to liaise directly with its office to connect with reputable tour operators prior to travelling to Papua New Guinea following recent concerns about the safety of tourists traveling to Papua New Guinea, particularly regarding unverified tour operators.
In light of the recent incident in the Gulf, where a tourist was involved in a serious accident, we want to remind everyone of the importance of booking tours only with certified operators. Your well-being is our top priority, and we strongly urge you to prioritize reputable providers who can offer a secure, safe and enjoyable experience.
TPA’s CEO, Eric Mossman Uvovo highlighted the importance of visitors’ satisfaction in Papua New Guinea.
“Papua New Guinea is a beautiful and culturally diverse destination, and the safety and satisfaction of our visitors are our top priorities. We are deeply committed to ensuring that every tourist experiences the best our country has to offer in a secure and well-managed environment,” said Uvovo.
Uvovo emphasized the importance of working with registered tour operators who meet TPA’s high standards.
“By coordinating with TPA, travellers can rest assured they are engaging with operators who are insured, compliant with safety regulations, and well-versed in delivering authentic and responsible tourism experiences,” said Uvovo.
He highlighted TPA’s role in vetting and maintaining a database of approved tour operators. Such operators come under the following associations that PNGTPA recognises fully:
“There are unverified operators who do not meet the required standards, and tourists are urged to avoid such services to ensure their safety. PNGTPA remains available and fully committed to assisting anyone planning their trip to Papua New Guinea. If any operator is not a member of the above association, we urge you to be a registered member.
We encourage all tourists to connect with us directly for accurate information and trustworthy connections. TPA exists to make your journey to Papua New Guinea not only memorable but also safe,” said Uvovo.
As part of its ongoing efforts to promote tourism in the country, TPA is enhancing collaborations with local communities, tourism operators, and government agencies to maintain high safety and service standards for all tourists visiting PNG for work and leisure.
