The Islands of Tahiti continues to beckon Aussie travellers with forward flight bookings up 8.8 per cent from January to June 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
That’s off the back of a 73 per cent increase in arrivals last year against 2022 figures, making Australia the fifth-largest tourism source market for the South Pacific destination in 2023.
As a bucket-list location, it’s not surprising that the Islands of Tahiti experienced an impressive increase in international visitors in 2023 and enjoys a positive outlook on bookings for the first half of 2024, buoyed by Aussie travellers.
