The New Caledonia Tourism Office in Japan has decided to suspend its operations indefinitely from the end of July.
The decision was influenced by uncertainties in New Caledonia, the extremely challenging recovery of the Japanese market post-COVID, heightened awareness among Japanese travelers about travel safety making it difficult to foresee a rapid market recovery, and the suspension of Aircalin’s Tokyo/Narita to Noumea flights.
New Caledonia is facing significant budgetary constraints, necessitating the prioritization of more effectively utilizing limited funds and focusing on other markets expected to respond positively in the short term. The website, including its Japanese version, will be maintained, and information will continue to be shared via social media.
The New Caledonia Tourism Office in Japan stated, “We perceive this measure not as a farewell, but as a moment to reconsider our future direction. We kindly ask for your understanding.”
