Papua-New Guinea is to set up a Tourist Board, which will have comprehensive powers and functions for the promotion of tourism. Legislation to set up the board will be introduced at the November sitting of the House of Assembly.
The P-NG Administrator, Sir Donald Cleland, said in October the board would be comprised mainly of non-Government people active in the fields of commerce and transport associa ted with the servicing of tourists, and would result in Government and private enterprise working in co-operation.
The Administration would consider contributing money towards the cost of the board and the probable establishment of tourist bureaux. Private enterprise would also be ex pected to contribute, he said.
