P&O PRINCESS CRUISES INTRODUCES TAHITIAN PRINCESS & PACIFIC PRINCESS
Beginning December 24, 2002, P&O Cruises will debut Tahitian Princess, formerly the R4, with year-round, 10-day sailings in Tahiti and Her Islands and other South Pacific destinations. The former R3 will premiere as Pacific Princess and will operate only half of the year in Tahiti and Her Islands and other South Pacific destinations. Though both vessels are smaller than the other vessels in their fleet, P&O Princess Cruises feels they will offer a more intimate cruising environment. Itineraries are in the process of being finalized and special promotional pricings are being offered. (Source: Tahiti Tourisme Partner Update, July/August 2002)
French Polynesia to buy an atoll for tourism
The French Polynesia Government has announced that it will buy Anuanuraro, a remote and uninhabited atoll about 700 kilometres east of Tahiti for tourism development. This atoll is being sold for US$6 million. The government said that the atoll will be used for the construction of luxury hotels. Hotels of 100 and 150 rooms could be built on Tupai in one or two years, said President Gaston Flosse. This could create as many as 1000 jobs, he said.
