Cyclone Impact Assessments & Recovery

In March 2015, Shefa Province was devastated by category 5 Cyclone Pam. Tourism was very hard hit and my focus changed from business development to recovery. This involved:

CYCLONE PAM TOURISM ASSESSMENT REPORT
Assisting the DoT with the collection of data for an impact assessment report.

SHEFA TOURISM POST-CYCLONE RECOVERY PLAN
Together with my counterpart, developing a recovery plan for Shefa Tourism. This required:

• Securing funding to conduct assessments
• Organising logistics
• Taking a team comprised of DoT staff and consultants (including marine biologists, a WASH engineer and architect) to Nguna and Pele Islands
• Producing a report that was made available to MFAT, DFAT and other donor organisations

​
FUNDING APPLICATIONS
Successfully secured funding for assessments and workshops aimed at recovery after the cyclone.

MARKETING TO INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS
Encouraged the return of tourists to Vanuatu through the Shefa Tourism facebook page and overseas media.
