Glamorous Vanuatu: ‘The happiest place on Earth – It is often called the happiest place on Earth. In the local language, its name means “The Eternal Land.” Vanuatu is made up of 82 islands in the South Pacific. Its fertile soil produces an abundance of fruit and vegetation, where ancient tribal tradition lives side by side with modernity. It is one of the most distant lands on the planet, but remains connected with the rest of the world through tourism and trade. A former colony that only found independence in 1980, Vanuatu cherishes freedom more than anything.
Vanuatu is quite unlike anywhere else on Earth. It’s like a greatest hits of the world’s most spectacular experiences – all in the one place.
The Partnership is working in collaboration with the Department of Tourism to improve access to income generation opportunities for more members of the community through interaction with the cruise tourism sector.
Mystery Island (Aneityum) was recently named the top cruise destination in the South Pacific category of the Cruise Critic’s 2018 Choice Destination Awards. This award is testament to the hard work of the Vanuatu Government, the private sector and the communities of Aneityum with support from the Vanuatu Skills Partnership.

Through targeted skills development support, local tourism operators are increasing the quality and standard of local tours, restaurants, and spa and beauty services available at Ports of Call including Luganville, Champagne Beach, and Mystery Island.
