HelloDive at Pacific Day 2026: Vanuatu Diving in Focus

HelloDive participated in Pacific Day 2026 in China, supporting the promotion of Vanuatu as an emerging South Pacific diving destination.

Vanuatu was featured at Pacific Day 2026 in China, an event that brought together diplomatic missions and tourism authorities from across the South Pacific to showcase regional culture, tourism offerings, and cross-border collaboration.

Hosted in China, the event aimed to further strengthen engagement between South Pacific destinations and the Chinese travel market, while providing a direct platform for industry dialogue and destination promotion.

As part of Vanuatu’s in-market promotional engagement, HelloDive founder Simon Chen was invited

to participate alongside the Vanuatu Tourism Office to support the presentation of Vanuatu as a distinctive diving destination for Chinese travellers.

The showcase highlighted Vanuatu’s world-class diving experiences, including its iconic wreck diving sites such as the SS President Coolidge, rich coral reef ecosystems, and its untouched island landscapes combined with unique South Pacific cultural heritage.

The engagement provided an important opportunity to strengthen connections between Vanuatu and the Chinese dive and outbound travel industry, further reinforcing its positioning within the emerging premium dive travel segment.

As a platform connecting Chinese dive travellers with global destinations, HelloDive continues to support destinations such as Vanuatu through structured content, data insights, and market collaboration, ensuring more effective visibility within the Chinese dive travel market.

Looking ahead, HelloDive will further strengthen its partnerships across South Pacific destinations and tourism authorities, combining product structuring, market intelligence, and digital distribution capabilities to bring higher-quality dive travel experiences into China, while enabling destinations to achieve more efficient reach and conversion in an evolving outbound travel landscape.
