The Ministry of Tourism has begun efforts to revitalize the Nuku’alofa waterfront by building new fish market stalls in Patangata and Popua, part of their clean, green, beautiful approach.
Tourism Minister Dr. Viliami Latu said the initiative aims to improve hygiene standards in line with Ministry of Health regulations for the sale of commercial products like fish along the Nuku’alofa waterfront. “We aim to enhance the physical appeal of the area for tourists,” said Latu, adding that new public toilets and water taps will be installed at Popua Park to support fish sellers.
A second fish market is planned for Sopu, along with the ongoing installation of new recycle bins at public areas like Popua Park. The ministry is urging the public to use the bins properly to help maintain a clean environment along the waterfront.
“We ask for everyone’s collaboration to keep our waterfront green, clean, and beautiful,” said the Ministry in a public statement.
