Anne Christine Dunn, the reigning Miss Pacific Islands launched a sustainable tourism campaign on social media on 22 March, for the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO).
She is working with SPTO to promote International Year for Sustainable Tourism for Development,
"Sustainable tourism for me is about preserving and sharing our unique South Pacific islands and cultures with the world. It is about being responsible as hosts and visitors to our beautiful yet fragile island ecosystems,” she said.
SPTO CEO Christopher Cocker said our culture, environment and our people are our greatest tourism assets and it is our responsibility to ensure their sustainability,
Miss Pacific Island joined this initiative to promote sustainable and responsible tourism for not just Fiji but the entire Pacific region.
The global campaign asks people in the Pacific and travellers from around the world to share their thoughts on sustainable tourism through personal photographs, videos, stories and ideas on facebook, instagram and twitter with the hashtags #travelenjoyrespect and #SouthPacificIslands.
A trip to the Pacific is also up for grabs and a winner will be announced on May 20 at the South Pacific Tourism Exchange in Sydney.
