Press Release PNG Holidays Website

PNG Holidays Launch Website

Dated: 12th July 2007

PNG Holidays have launched their new holiday program for the destination of Papua New Guinea with a website that provides plenty of information about the destination, its activities, where to go and what to see.

The website is designed to provide as much information as possible on Papua New Guinea to the consumer, whilst directing them to their local travel agent to make bookings rather than taking enquiries or bookings direct from the public.

Managing Director Martin Keating said “It is our vision as a wholesaler for Papua New Guinea, to provide practical and up to date information to the consumer to encourage would be travellers to embrace PNG as the wonderful destination that it really is, to provide strong marketing and training support to travel agents and to develop a strong agency distribution network throughout Australia."

"Until recently, Papua New Guinea has never been seen as an easy destination but in light of other world events it is now time to truly showcase our closest neighbour."

"Competition on air routes between (East Coast of) Australia and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, frequency of service and the strength of the Australian Dollar have combined to make holidays in Papua New Guinea a great value option.  Air Niugini/Qantas, Airlines of PNG, all accommodation and tour operators have all combined to present great holiday opportunities to the Australian public."

"We encourage you to investigate the possibilities in Papua New Guinea for an amazing holiday."   

The website has been launched with a major focus on weekend escapes, fully inclusive holiday packages and diving holidays. Other areas of speciality include fishing, trekking and birdwatching. All packages are inclusive of airfares ex Australia.

This new website is the first product distribution tool to be launched by PNG Holidays, and will shortly be followed by a full colour brochure to assist agents in selling Papua New Guinea as a safe and exciting holiday destination.

"We believe that the traveller does need to be fully informed before travelling to Papua New Guinea and this cannot be achieved by the Internet alone so we encourage the agent community to do what it does best and that is to give the best advice available to their clients.  In regards to Papua New Guinea it is our job to assist agents to do this in every way we can."

“Much of Papua New Guinea is not only unspoilt in nature but also unspoilt in culture and extremely family friendly and safe. Kokoda has set a benchmark for travel to PNG and it is time the traveller was enlightened of all its other hidden jewels “ he said.  

Their new website is www.PNGHolidays.com.au
