Julie Laronde, New Caledonia Tourism’s General Manager says “It is a big day for the country as restrictions are being lifted. After more than 2 years of COVID closure, it is a very exciting time and the opportunity to rebuild tourism to New Caledonia. We cannot wait to welcome our Australians neighbours back to our shores!”.
New Caledonia is Australia’ next door neighbour (less than 3 hours from Sydney and 2 hours from Brisbane). An amazing archipelago and holiday destination thanks to its combination of unique Melanesian culture, exotic South Pacific charm, and cosmopolitan French chic. Surrounded by the largest lagoon in the world, New Caledonia is famous for its variety of landscapes, cultures, activities, and its unique biodiversity.
