Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia, an overseas country of France in the Pacific Ocean. The name ''Papeete'' means "water from a basket". Papeete is not a tropical paradise. It is a typical government center and industrial port with small doses of French and Polynesian charm. It has shopping, eating, and drinking, but very little sightseeing for a capital city and even fewer top-class hotels. The residents speak French and Tahitian, although English is spoken by many in the tourist trade. The people-watching is superb.

CITC (Canadian Institute of Travel Counsellors) has had the pleasure of working with TravelOnly for a number of years toward the goals of professional development, industry certification and consumer confidence. CITC applauds TravelOnly’s initiative in creating not only interest, but excitement in the promotion of careers in the travel industry. As the expression goes, “a job in travel is an opportunity of a lifetime; a career in travel is a lifetime of opportunities”. Kudos to TravelOnly for acting on this.
