Why Join the VTOA?

​

The VTOA regularly circulates a membership list of active members to the Vanuatu Hotels and Resorts Association (VHRA), the VTO and Department of Tourism.

​​

If a business appears on  our membership list, VHRA/VTO/DoT know we have checked insurance documents and business licences and have them on file, and also that these businesses are contributing to the TMDF.

​

Through an agreement with VHRA, only members who are on our list may have their brochures displayed at hotel/resort tour desks. (Please note that membership does not guarantee your brochures WILL be displayed).

​

VTO marketing activities, participation events and buy-in opportunities are only open to businesses contributing to TMDF. Currently only  a few associations such as VHRA, ESTA (Espiritu Santo Tourism Association) and VTOA guarantee their members are regular contributors; consequently VTO deals mainly with these associations.

As D.O.T. reforms its certification process starting in 2018, the new process will require more involvement  from selected tourism associations-and VTOA is one of 5 selected associations.
