Hotel For Rarotonga?

p. 15 · Read in the full issue

IT is believed that plans are under con sideration for the construction of a big hotel in Rarotonga—something that has been needed for many years.

Rarotonga, from the pleasure-traveller’s point of view, is a very attractive place; but there can be no tourist traffic worthy of the name until suitable accommodation is available.

A new hospital is to be built, and it is suggested that the present hospital build ings could be used in the construction of the hotel. The present Resident Com missioner, Mr. Tailby, is believed to be in favour of the hotel proposal.
