The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) in Kiritimati island has commenced work on a first ever visitor survey specifically for departing Anglers. The aim of this survey is to capture valuable feedback from anglers on their experiences as fishing is the main niche market for the island.

TAK is collaborating with the Kiritimati Fishing guide operators and they held their first meeting on Friday 2nd of August to discuss the formation of the survey questionnaire.

The survey is scheduled to begin at the commencement of the next fishing season in October 2019 and will run concurrent with the International Visitor Survey (IVS) currently conducted by TAK at Cassidy International Airport in Kiritimati.

Once completed, the Tourism Authority of Kiribati hopes that information collated will present a better understanding of the anglers’ perception of the destination and will allow TAK to make more informed decision about development and promotion of the Kiritimati fishing segment.
