The Ministry of Tourism, Trade, Industry, Commerce and Ni-Vanuatu
Business, as part of the Vanuatu Strategic Tourism Action Plan (VSTAP), is
seeking the services of a specialist consultant (firm, consortium or
individual) to undertake this Project as a matter of high priority. The main
Vanuatu tourism organisations need to be reviewed in terms of their role,
function, capability, resources and responsibilities. The objective is to
improve communication, co-ordination and co-operation between the organisations
responsible for delivering tourism services so as to form a more unified voice
and a shared vision to develop and promote the destination. This will better
inform the market and assist Vanuatu to become more internationally
competitive. The following main tourism organisations are to be reviewed:
- Department of Tourism
- Vanuatu Tourism Office
- Provincial Tourism Councils
- Tourism Associations
The Scope of work to be completed to achieve the required outcomes
would include the following:
- Review of all the relevant
legislation
- Review of all previous tourism plans
and studies
- Desktop review of best
practice in tourism structures in similar destinations to Vanuatu
- Stakeholder consultations
including one-on-one meetings, group meetings, industry forums and stakeholder
workshops
- Review of the roles, function and
responsibilities of each organisation
- Review of capacity needs
and resource requirements – financial, human and physical
- Development and modeling of
proposed organizational structures
- Development of a situation analysis
report
- Preparation and delivery of a Final Report.
