Tourism in Papua New Guinea : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tourism in Papua New Guinea Tourism in Papua New Guinea is a fledgling industry but there are attractions for the potential visitor which include culture, markets, festivals, diving, surfing, hiking, fishing and the unique flora and fauna. Each year about 70 000 tourists visit Papua. ==History== In April 1883, James Burns and Robert Philp began a trading partnership, originally named the "Burns Philp & Company Limited".〔Douglas, N. and Douglas, N. (1996) "Tourism in the Pacific: Historical factors" in Hall, C.M. and Page, S.J. (eds.) ''Tourism in the Pacific: Issues and Cases'', London pp. 65-80〕 They were the first company to offer tourism to New Guinea, in 1884, advertising the 'New Guinea Excursion Trip'.〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', 16 February 1884 in Douglas, N. (1994) "Electric Shadows in the South Seas: The Pacific Islands in film" in D. Aoki (ed.) ''Moving Images of the Pacific Islands: A Guide to Films and Video'', Center for Pacific Island Studies: Honolulu, p. 40〕 This consisted of a five-week trip from Thursday Island and has been described as the "official beginning of tourist cruises in the South Pacific".〔Douglas, N. (1994) 'Electric Shadows in the South Seas: The Pacific Islands in film' in D. Aoki (ed.) ''Moving Images of the Pacific Islands: A Guide to Films and Video'', Center for Pacific Island Studies: Honolulu, p. 40〕 The company later published a book titled ''Picturesque Travel''. By 1914 the Burns Philp Tourist Department was established advertising tours on Lord Howe and Norfolk Island. Acquisition of the Port Moresby Hotel occurred in the same year, with the Papua Hotel purchased some years later. Burns Philp "maintained a near monopoly on passenger services to Melanesia until the outbreak of the war in the Pacific".〔Douglas, N. and Douglas, N. (1996) "Tourism in the Pacific: Historical factors" in Hall, C.M. and Page, S.J. (eds.) ''Tourism in the Pacific: Issues and Cases'', London p. 27〕 The war saw the British government take over some of the Burns Philp fleet and the vessel ''Macdui'' was sunk in Port Moresby in 1942 as its first voyage as a troop carrier.〔Buckley, K. and Klugman, K. (1983) ''The Australian Presence in the Pacific: Burns Philp 1914-1916'', George Allen & Unwin: Sydney〕
