Surf
Area Management Plan for Vanimo and Kavieng |
| |
|
| |
To
all surfers visiting Papua New Guinea |
|
|
|
Due
to the increasing popularity of both Kavieng (New Ireland
Province) and Vanimo(Sandaun
Province) as Papua New Guinea's premier surfing detinations,
the SAPNG in conjunction with its affiliated surf clubs have
instituted new surf area manegement plans to ensure a sustainable
future for surf-tourism in Papua New Guinea. |
|
|
|
Firstly,
these management plans prescribe fees to be paid by visiting
surfers. There is an initial once only fee that is split between
the SAPNG and local affiliated surf clubs and a small daily
fee that is retained by the local affiliated surf clubs. Both
the SAPNG and local affiliated surf clubs will be using these
fees for national and local area surfing development programs
including but not limited to member equipment needs, national
and international competition participation, club facilities
etc. |
|
|
|
Secondly
and due to the increasing popularity of these two locations
for visiting surfers, maximum surfer numbers in any one area
at any one time have also been introduced. This measure is
in the interest of avoiding overcrowding and its associated
problems. |
|
|
|
Both
of the above issues are normally taken care of as part of
the booking procedure when making travel bookings through
your travel agent, please feel free to enquire whether they
are aware of the fees and quota numbers. If there are any
questions please feel free to either contact us directly or
get your agent to do so on your behalf. |
|
|
|
This
SAPNG initiative is in the interest of sustainable surfing
development (surf-tourism) for the above areas and to set
an example of a well manged tourism resource for the benefit
of both local and international visiting surfers in line with
the SAPNG goals as outlined within
this website |
