Pitcairn Islands Tourism Travel Coordinator, Heather Menzies, says “Even though we are one of the most remote tourism destinations on earth, we have experienced unprecedented growth in demand since reopening our border to visitors in March 2022. This improved access will ensure more visitors are able to experience legendary Pitcairn Island.
