Viliami Tufui, President of the Tonga Paralympics Committee, said, “We’re very happy and grateful for the generous support offered by Digicel Tonga for many years now, which continues to enable the office to continue its important work and in particular to connect with stakeholders in Tonga and overseas regarding the development of Paralympics here in Tonga.”

A team of two athletes and coach that departed Friday to represent Tonga in Brisbane, Australia for the qualifying pathway to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics were also presented with Digicel string bags and t-shirts.

Speaking at the World Trade Organization, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat Regional workshop in Nadi, Fiji last week, SPTO Chief Executive Officer Chris Cocker said the internet continues to revolutionise tourism marketing and product distribution globally.

However, the Pacific tourism industry has failed in many aspects to keep pace with the level of technological change.
