Dive Tours Directory - Book Dive Tours in Papua New Guinea
Description
Over the years independent dive operators have promoted Papua New Guinea's dive tourism industry. In time, with the number of dive operations increasing, there arose a need for a central body, not only to co-ordinate industry activities, but also to act as a lobby group for operators' concerns. In 1995 the Papua New Guinea Divers' Association was incorporated.
In recognising the efforts of the industry, the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority granted funds allocated for general dive tourism, to the PNGDA. In January 1998, this assistance made possible the formation of the PNGDA Secretariat. It is through the Secretariat that activities such as overseas promotions, advertising, and co-ordination of environmental projects are carried out. The PNGDA Secretariat is today entirely funded through its own income sources, although it continues to work in partnership with the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority.
In partnership with The Nature Conservancy, United Nations Development Program and the Seacology Foundation, the PNGDA initiated its Environmental Mooring Program.
