Kiritimati Island in the west of Kiribati welcome the world’s first sunrise of 2023 through a dawn event of song and dance at the island’s Tabon Te Kee Beach in Rondon (London) on Sunday 01 January 2023.
The celebration was streamed live through the Visit Kiribati Facebook page and attracted followers from around the world.
The program included traditional songs and dance, performances and demonstrations of traveller activities such as fishing.
Ministry of Line and Phoenix Islands (MLPID) Officer in Charge, Mrs Meremera Temari, delivered a New Year welcome address and invited viewers to enjoy the activities presented by the people of Kiritimati Island.
Kiritimati Island is a world-class fly-fishing destination and boasts some of the world’s most remote and pristine golden sand beaches, turquoise lagoon and abundant array of marine life. The island’s international border is expected to be opened to international travellers in early 2023.
