Miss Pacific Islands

A beautiful night at the official opening of the South Pacific Tourism Exchange 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort & Spa.

After a full day of connection and collaboration, the evening was a celebration of our shared identity, resilience, and creativity. From exchanging ideas on sustainable tourism to highlighting the incredible contributions of Pacific women in business, every moment reminded us that our culture and innovation are our greatest strengths.

Miss Pacific Islands Ailava Samuels presence, energy, and performance as our Tourism Ambassador were a powerful reminder that Pacific women lead, inspire, and uplift the region. Her meke wasn’t just a dance, it was a story of heritage, pride, and a call for unity across our islands.

As SPTE 2026 continues, it’s clear: when we come together as one Pacific, we connect, create, and shine brighter than ever.

Our Miss Pacific Islands at the Pacific Tourism Organisation event hosted in Nadi for the next two days.

SPTE plays an important role in positioning the Pacific not just as a destination, but as a unified, future-ready tourism force. Pacific
