The Western Province is experiencing a growing wave of tourism interest, particularly in the areas of diving and fishing, according to the province’s Tourism Division.

Meria Paza, Head of the Western Province Tourism Division, said that tourist numbers have steadily increased since last year, with many visitors drawn to the region’s world-class diving spots.

“There are more than three popular diving locations that are attracting the most attention—Munda, Gizo, and Sanbis Resort. These sites are offering unforgettable diving experiences for tourists,” she said.

Paza said some local diving operators have also formed partnerships with international diving organizations, helping to enhance the quality of services and promote the province as a prime diving destination.

In addition to diving, fishing is also gaining attraction among visiting tourists.

Paza said tourism operators are incorporating fishing into their service package as some of the tourists are drawn to fishing tours.

She said the growing interest in marine-based activities is a positive sign for the Western Province’s tourism sector.
