New Caledonia Tourism has launched a new virtual hub flaunting their destination with immersive videos and images.

The hub is designed to let those at home get a taste of the South Pacific destination while the borders remain closed.

Emilie Hess, Director of New Caledonia Tourism in Australia said the hub will give travel-dreamers a chance to explore their destination from afar.

“While international borders remain closed, New Caledonia Tourism wants to keep the dream of travel alive for our Australian neighbours,” Ms Hess said.

“This is just a taster of what travellers can enjoy in New Caledonia, and we look forward to welcoming visitors again soon to discover all they’ve experienced virtually and so much more.”

The hub includes New Caledonian recipes, music videos set to the views of the region’s landscapes and 360-degree video experiences, including skydiving over the country’s World Heritage-listed lagoon.
