Lesson
It is critical that the risk assessment and management plan of the project preparatory technical assistance in the tourism sector incorporate measures to be taken in case of future pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic led to delays in realizing project tourism benefits. Nevertheless, the ensuing pent-up demand from domestic and foreign tourists seems likely to lead to increases in future incremental visitor numbers, visitor days, and visitor expenditure from each of the subprojects. These increases could contribute to the financial sustainability of the subprojects.

A well-designed and functioning project performance monitoring system (PPMS) is critical for the monitoring of project performance and collecting data for economic analyses (among other information). Given the data issues persistent in the Pacific e.g., availability and quality of data, careful thought on designing a comprehensive but implementable i.e., “fit for purpose” PPMS is imperative upon project teams. This can enable better data collection, which can facilitate better post-evaluation.

The selection of appropriate project financing modality (through feasible project design) in line with country capacities is a crucial factor in achieving complex project objectives and overall project success. Availability of financing that is time-bound, such as multitranche financing facilities or sector lending puts the onus on the counterpart government to ensure project readiness from its side.

Value additions need to be emphasized during project Implementation to ensure that state governments gain benefits from them. Although the design was appropriate, the dropping of a few outputs related to project value additions could have been avoided if the state governments had given them due consideration and importance. These value additions could have supported the participating states in mobility planning, event management, development of guidelines, and site management plan for effective tourist management.
