Lopez Adams, an entrepreneur and caf\u00e9 owner in Port Vila, Vanuatu, relies on tourism and aviation infrastructure for his businesses. If aviation infrastructure isn\u2019t operating properly, Lopez\u2019s business and his employees are directly impacted. <\/p>\n
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\u2019s three main airports.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
