Discover Moorea’s Untouched Beauty and Economic Potential

Moorea, a picturesque island in French Polynesia near Tahiti, beckons with its pristine lagoons, lush valleys, and vibrant cultural heritage. This paradise not only attracts tourists but also presents opportunities for responsible investment.

 Economic Revival and Sustainable Tourism Initiatives

Mayor Evans Houmani highlights Moorea’s resilient economy, bolstered by tourism despite recent setbacks from the Covid-19 pandemic. “Tourism is our economic backbone,” Houmani says. The island, whose population doubles on weekends due to tourism, focuses on creating jobs while preserving the environment. Initiatives like infrastructure development and a dedicated Tourism Committee aim to enhance Moorea’s appeal and promote sustainable resource use.

Preserving Natural Beauty Through Environmental Conservation

Moorea’s allure lies in its preserved natural beauty, safeguarded by measures like the Maritime Space Management Plan (PGEM), which protects the lagoons and encourages eco-friendly construction. “We have no electric poles; electricity is underground,” notes Houmani, reflecting the commune’s commitment to conservation. Strict policies and partnerships also help protect Moorea’s forests.

 Growing Tourism and Diverse Attractions

Tourism in Moorea has surged, with over 130 cruise ship visits annually. “Of the 90,000 tourists last year, 70% were Americans,” Houmani shares. Visitors enjoy a range of activities, from diving in clear lagoons to exploring cultural sites. Moorea offers a unique blend of water sports, cultural experiences, and natural beauty, attracting a diverse array of tourists and promoting local tourism.

 A Call for Sustainable Investment

Moorea’s strategy is clear: sustainable and inclusive tourism is the future. “Our mission is to develop sustainable and inclusive tourism,” Houmani asserts. The island extends a warm invitation to American investors, presenting Moorea as a preserved paradise where natural beauty and cultural heritage coexist harmoniously.
