Lopez Adams, an entrepreneur and café owner in Port Vila, Vanuatu, relies on tourism and aviation infrastructure for his businesses. If aviation infrastructure isn’t operating properly, Lopez’s business and his employees are directly impacted.

The World Bank has supported the government of Vanuatu through the US$73.9 million Vanuatu Aviation Investment Project to repair and rehabilitate the country’s three main airports.

In a region as dispersed as the Pacific Islands, airports represent more than a travel hub: they are links to the world, jobs, specialized health care, and a vital connection to markets for many businesses.
