ECOTOURISM MELANESIA
is a tour operator specialising in ecotourism experiences in Papua New
Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Our aim is to encourage overseas
visitors to travel to the rural areas of Melanesia so that more tourism
dollars will go directly into the pockets of village people, giving
them a viable alternative to less enviro-friendly forms of income like
logging and mining.
Ecotourism Melanesia
is a Papua New Guinea company established by Aaron Hayes, a teacher
and psychologist by profession who developed a passionate interest in
ecotourism after living and working in Solomon Islands and Papua New
Guinea and developing strong ties with local people at the village level.
Ecotourism Melanesia is a commercial enterprise and derives commissions
from tour bookings. Apart from our head office in Papua New Guinea we
have agency offices in Australia and Solomon Islands.
Ecotourism Melanesia
assists clients to plan customised itineraries as well as providing
a range of standard tours to a variety of rural destinations. We specialise
in booking village-based guest houses, lodges and homestays that most
travel agents don't know about or don't want to know about.
Please don't
hesitate to contact us with your questions, no matter how trivial, we
are glad to be of service, with no obligation.
