Vanuatu’s tourism industry faces an uncertain future

Vanuatu’s tourism-reliant economy is facing an uncertain future following the collapse of its national carrier, Air Vanuatu.

Sky News has spoken to a number of local tourism operators who say they worry that the airline’s reputation for being unreliable will have a long-term impact on the country’s international reputation for holidaymakers.

Last week, the company cut off a vital tourism lifeline for the country when it was liquidated.

Many visitors outside the main island remain stranded without commercial domestic flights.
