Abstract

Papua New Guinea is a nation of immense natural beauty and incredible cultural diversity, yet it is completely shunned as a tourist destination despite being so close to the enormous East Asian market. This paradox is almost completely due to the law and order situation, which United Nations data shows to be as bad as anywhere in the world. The tourism industry provides a golden opportunity for economic development, but the law and order problem will need to be addressed first.
