Our Cover

Vavau, Tonga is coming to the fore lately. Following the opening of the Port of Refuge Hotel, featured in PIM last month, we present long-time Vavau resident Patricia Matheson’s reflections on the winds of change there (inside, p 53). Q ant as photographer Warren Clarke captured this shot of an un-named Tongan dancer during the festivities which marked the hotel’s debut.
