Owned and managed by Precise Travel Marketing’s Director, Richard Skewes

Treasures of the South Pacific Pty Ltd (tosp.com.au/tosp.co.nz) is a unique regional collective that brings together up to 11 South Pacific National Tourism Offices, key sponsor airlines and regional bodies such as Pacific Tourism Organisation and Pacific Trade Invest Australia under one banner.

It is owned and managed by PTM’s Director, Richard Skewes, giving Precise Travel Marketing a level of access and influence in the Pacific that no other representation company can match.

As Director of Treasures of the South Pacific, Richard works directly with the tourism boards, airline partners and regional organisations to promote the Pacific islands to the Australian and New Zealand markets. This role keeps him at the centre of what’s happening, who’s deciding it and where the opportunities are next.


Direct access to decision-makers across the region

Through Treasures of the South Pacific, Richard has ongoing, personal relationships with:

  • National Tourism Offices from across the South Pacific
  • Key sponsor airlines servicing the region
  • Regional organisations such as Pacific Tourism Organisation and Pacific Trade Invest Australia
  • Senior leaders within wholesalers, OTAs and major retail travel networks

When Treasures of the South Pacific hosts functions in Australia and New Zealand, they attract:

  • Well over 1,000 retail travel agents each year
  • VIP guests from the management and decision-making teams of wholesalers, OTAs and retail consortia – not just front-line consultants

Because Richard runs these events, he has direct, face-to-face access to the people who decide what gets contracted, promoted and prioritised in the South Pacific.


Live events, training & regional marketing – all year round

Treasures of the South Pacific is not a once-a-year roadshow; it’s an ongoing program of:

  • Live trade events and presentations across Australia and New Zealand
  • VIP functions for key industry stakeholders and partners
  • Online training for travel agents
  • Joint marketing activity showcasing the breadth of the South Pacific

As the host and driver of these activities, Richard is known by thousands of travel agents as the “South Pacific guy” – the trusted, go-to contact for island knowledge, product updates and selling tips.
