Australia and Vanuatu have very strong ties. Australia has provided the bulk of Vanuatu's military assistance, training its paramilitary mobile force and also providing patrol boats to patrol Vanuatu's waters. Australia is Vanuatu's main source of foreign aid, providing A$66 million in 2010-11. And Australia is Vanuatu's largest source of foreign direct investment, mostly directed in the areas of tourist development and construction.
Australia is Vanuatu's
largest source of tourists, with Australians making up 2/3 of all tourist visitors and virtually all cruise ship visits.
Approximately 150 cruise ships visit Port Vila a year, with the biggest
boat carrying 2,400 passengers!
