AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Tourism Risk Check: Cook Islands tourism leaders warn the economy is still exposed to a global slowdown, even as Government points to a “worst-case” 5% GDP decline scenario. Sustainable Tourism Push: Stakeholders met to review progress on the Destination Stewardship Plan and map the next phase of sustainable tourism development. Budget & Funding Watch: Government says reinstated NZ$20m funding equals about 5% of the 2026/27 budget appropriation, while the wider 2026/27 Budget faces scrutiny from opposition and business. Energy Security: The Government moves into phase two of a five-phase plan to safeguard fuel supply amid global supply risks tied to Middle East conflict. Connectivity & Shipping: PM Mark Brown marks the inauguration of the MV Tuitui Moana in China, a co-funded inter-island vessel aimed at improving access and resilience across the Pa Enua. Regional Trade Work: Cook Islands participates in PACER Plus meetings in Tonga, shaping proposals on trade facilitation, customs, standards, biosecurity and private sector development. Aviation & Tourism Markets: Cook Islands continues strengthening North America tourism presence ahead of new airline partnerships and cruise opportunities. Sports & Community: Apii Avarua wins its 16th athletics title, while Moana Pasifika’s future remains uncertain amid financial pressures.
