Committed to support a more sustainable tourism, New Caledonia has chosen ethical and environmentally friendly gifts to engage and encourage learners of the New Caledonia Specialist E-learning programme. Each level of certification gives you access to various prizes, from exclusive digital content to download and great monthly prize draws (Proficient level – level 1), to a famil in New Caledonia (Expert level – level 3). When a learner reaches the Advanced level (level 2), New Caledonia Tourism will make a donation to the leading non-for-Profit organisation, WWF, specifically towards their bush regeneration programme also called SEVE Project. (‘sève’ in French means ‘sap’ – the fluid which circulates in the vascular system of a plant)

The SEVE Programme’s mission is two-fold:

  1. Regenerate Caledonian bushes and forests and preserve the native flora and eco-system
  2. Involve schools and develop sustainability and environment awareness among children.

When you undertake the E-learning programme, you will not only grow your knowledge but will also help grow children’s environmental awareness, regrow native bushes & forests and ultimately help protect our stunning destination!

New Caledonia Tourism’s General Manager Julie Laronde said “With the hope of borders reopening early 2022, we are committed to ensuring that agents in Australia and New Zealand have access to all the tools they need to start selling our destination again. We know it has been an incredibly difficult time for many and we cannot wait to welcome them and their clients again to New Caledonia. The SEVE initiative is a fantastic way for us to involve the agents in one of the many sustainable initiatives New Caledonia Tourism is embracing for an inclusive, harmonious and eco-friendly future of the tourism industry.”
