The interactive new center is a welcome addition to the island for both locals and tourists providing them with a one-stop location for information and bookings, cultural experiences and shopping.
The visitor center features an exhibition space for regular cultural performances and offers a place for local craft groups who will be able to sell their products at the center. The Niue Tourism office will also be based in the building.
The visitor center opened this week to a full house of tourists and has enjoyed a steady flow of enthusiastic visitors in the days since.
Early feedback from visitors has been “Wow, I wasn’t expecting this,” reflecting the under-promising and over-delivering that people enjoy on the island.
Niue Tourism Development manager Hayden Porter says: “There has been a fantastic turnout at the visitor center so far and we immediately saw a big lift in the tours being booked and merchandise purchased. The center will be beneficial to local businesses giving them a place to promote their products and services six days a week and in a beautiful environment.”
The large new center is in a historic Niuean building which has been fully renovated over a number of months.
