On August 24th, 2024, the Tourism Authority of Kiribati was invited to conduct a tourism awareness session for the Youth Christian Living (YCL) group and Sunday School children at the Kiribati Uniting Church (KUC) in Banana, Kiritimati Island. This initiative is part of the YCL’s quarterly program, which focuses on nurturing young people’s relationship with the Lord. In addition to spiritual teachings, the program also invites the Tourism Office to deliver important tourism awareness sessions.
The event was held at the KUC Banana Mwaneaba, where a representative from the Tourism Authority presented to the youth and Sunday School students about the significance of tourism in Kiribati. The presentation emphasized their responsibility in safeguarding and protecting tourism resources and the environment to ensure future economic and socio-cultural benefits. The session was interactive and engaging, with the youth and children actively participating in Q&A discussions about their roles in supporting tourism development in Kiribati.
The Tourism Authority of Kiribati expresses its gratitude to the Minister of KUC Banana and the YCL Advisor for the invitation to conduct this awareness session. This collaboration reflects strong support and teamwork toward achieving the tourism goals outlined in the KV20 vision.
