Tanna

Plans for a small Melanesian style resort hotel on the south ern New Hebridean volcano island of Tanna are off.

Last year, in an announcement of an $8 million hotel expansion project by Travelodge, Burns Philp, Queensland Insurance and Trust Houses of the UK, the Tanna hotel was mooted as a “possibility” of the project.

To date three hotels (all in Fiji) are under construction or in operation under the project, and the group is “keener than ever” to get going on a SAI million hotel in Apia, despite lack of co-operation so far from the Western Samoan Govern ment.
