AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoPublic Health Update: The CDC has revised its dengue destination list, now naming New Caledonia among countries where dengue risk is flagged as year-round, alongside places like Samoa, Vietnam, Colombia and Tonga—while a separate chikungunya notice was updated for northwest Costa Rica. Travel Safety: A new report highlights a dengue case in Florida with no recent travel outside the US, underscoring that mosquito-borne risk can still show up unexpectedly for travelers. Reconstruction & Jobs: France approved a second phase of its New Caledonia recovery plan, adding €84.7m (CFP10.1b) for 50 infrastructure and services projects, including transport access for remote communities and upgrades to water and sanitation. Maritime Tensions: Vanuatu has walked away from talks with France over a maritime boundary with New Caledonia, tied to disputed sovereignty over two uninhabited islands—an issue that also draws support from Kanak customary leaders. Regional Tourism & Nature: Melanesian nations are moving toward a massive ocean reserve corridor (MOCOR), with Solomon Islands joining PNG, Vanuatu and Fiji—good news for eco-travelers, but with warnings that enforcement must be real, not “paper parks.” Sports Tourism: OFC Men’s Champions League 2026 is set for Fiji (Aug 9–22), with New Caledonia’s AS Tiga Sport drawn in Group A against Auckland City, giving fans another reason to plan Pacific travel.
