Advance purchase meals

for New Caledonia tourists

Australians heading for a holi day in New Caledonia can now pay for meals before departure and enjoy full breakfast plus either lunch or dinner includ ing wine for just SAI6 a day.

The audience purchase meal plan available from June 1 to March 31 1985, is designed to counter the idea that eating out in New Caledonia is expensive.

Most tourist hotels in Noumea and many country areas, as well as more than 20 restaurants, are taking part in the plan, dubbed “Le Menu”.

Visitors can choose from a range of cuisines, including French, Italian, Chinese and Vietnamese.

The “Le Menu” plan is being co-ordinated by the New Cale donia Government Tourist Office, Sydney, and is offered

by Australian wholesalers marketing holidays to New Caledonia.

“Many people in Australia have the mistaken impression that New Caledonia is very expensive,” says Henri Mani quant, Manager, Australia, for the New Caledonia Govern ment Tourist Office.

“While the purpose of ‘Le Menu’ is to show that good meals in New Caledonia need not be expensive, it will also help people to budget for their holidays because the meals are paid for in Australia before the holiday begins.

“Moreover, the meal plan does not have to be bought for every day of the holiday. Each person can purchase ‘Le Menu’ vouchers for any number of days within the holiday.”
