MDF, in partnership with the South Pacific Sailing Network (SPSN), supported participation by Tonga Tourism, Tonga Customs, Tourism Fiji, Vanuatu Department of Tourism, and the Vanuatu Tourism Office.

MDF is working with yachting partners to help grow regional yachting tourism through public-private collaborations and international marketing.

Key themes included promoting the Pacific region as a premier yachting destination and providing essential information to yachties on customs regulations, biosecurity and immersive local experiences.
