LOS ANGELES, CA – The Islands of Tahiti are experiencing an exceptional year with a new private island resort, more sustainable and innovative lodging options, and millions of dollars in resort renovations. The continued growth—spurred by more flight service and a diverse mix of accommodations—make The Islands of Tahiti more accessible, and enticing, than ever before.
“This year The Islands of Tahiti is seeing the strongest arrivals numbers since 2001,” said Kristin Carlson, managing director of Tahiti Tourisme United States. “While accessibility has been a primary factor with the 2018 introduction of nonstop airlift from San Francisco, we’re thrilled to see investment not only in the destination’s luxury offerings, but also with exciting new immersive experiences for visitors as well.”
