Niue Tourism, Up Close: New arrivals are getting a real Niue welcome fast—sunset chats and “what you see is what you get” orientation tours that swing from Avaiki Cave rockpools to Matapa Chasm’s dramatic drops, with local humour included (yes, even the roosters-on-rubbish moment). Regional Ocean Agenda: Papua New Guinea used the Melanesian Ocean Summit in Port Moresby to push sustainable “blue economy” growth alongside marine protection, renewing focus on the Melanesian Ocean Corridor of Reserves and the “30 by 30” goal. Pacific Culture & Community: A TVNZ documentary, “400 Weddings and a Funeral,” is set to guide viewers through Pacific protocols with Niuean voices among other island knowledge holders. Music Spotlight: Che Fu is heading into the NZ Music Hall of Fame on 28 May, with his Navigator-era legacy front and centre. Care in Climate Planning: A Pacific-focused policy push argues climate adaptation plans should include care services, not just disaster response. Niue Governance Note: Tagelagi has been re-elected Niue PM. Language Weeks: Rotuman language and culture are being celebrated in Aotearoa now, with Niue Language Week slated for 18–24 October.
