We do not need more tourists, as we are at the point of saturation, especially in Rarotonga. Look at the traffic on the road as an example! Look at our capacity to provide fresh water to our own population, let alone 200,000 tourists per year. Look at the pollution of our lagoons from septic tank runoff. Look at our overflowing landfill.

Lower volume, higher spending visitors should be the target, as well as those that can leave a smaller negative environmental impact, or even a positive impact, on our fragile island ecosystem.
