About

Laikim PNG has an incredible team of people with over 30 years of experience in tourism in Papua New Guinea. Combined, they have over 80 years experience in business.

Laikim PNG's goal is to make a profound difference to the lives of everyone in PNG. Using tourism to create capacity, education, jobs, infrastructure and increase the standard of living.

Laikim PNG was founded in 2018 with the first years spent creating all the structures and plans required to start a business. COVID19 stopped all tourism to PNG so we stepped back and continued to develop our plans for when the borders opened again.

Laikim PNG is a company registered in Papua New Guinea and Australia. We have a team of experts in Papua New Guinea who assist us to do all of the things we need to do to provide our customers with an excellent experience. We work with businesses of all sizes throughout Papua New Guinea by using them to provide many of the local tours, services, guides, provisions, transport, information, language and anything else we require. We do this because we are committed to creating exceptional tourism experiences for our customers in PNG and working with local tourism operators allows us to grow the industry together.

We work with Government, organisations and Leaders all over Papua New Guinea to develop tourism, create capacity and provide access to places and events that are exceptional.

Laikim PNG is lead by Erue Taunao.
