The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) participated in the World Food Day Celebration in Kiritimati Island from 9-16 December 2022. This one-week event was organized by the Ministry of Environment, Land and Agricultural Development (MELAD).
As part of the program, TAK carried out its tourism awareness programs and roadshow campaigns on island cleanliness, solid waste management, and on the economic, social cultural and environmental benefits of tourism.
TAK also had the opportunity to participate in activities that support sustainable tourism in Kiritimati such as Mobile Gardening, plastic pick-a-thon, planting of palm trees and pandanus tress at Cassidy airport and plastic exchange.
The event completed with a competition for local gardeners and farmers to showcase their farming and harvesting skills. The celebration was also an opportunity for local farmers to sell their fresh produce.
