AN AUTONOMOUS OVERSEAS COUNTRY
IN A STABLE MONETARY AREA
French Polynesia is an overseas country that is part of the French Republic. With extended political autonomy
recognised by the French Constitution, it governs itself freely and democratically. The French State is responsible for
the sovereign powers. Parity with the Euro (1 EUR = 119.3317 XPF) is guaranteed by the French government within an
area that offers monetary stability. French Polynesia has full freedom regarding transfers and unlimited convertibility.

AIRPORT AND PORT INFRASTRUCTURE
French Polynesia has been able to acquire equipment and infrastructure adapted to the requirements of its economic
development and its geographic specificities.
French Polynesia has comprehensive air services providing daily connections to most major destinations via its international
airport, with easy access from Europe via the West Coast of the United States and South America, Australia, Japan, New
Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, New Caledonia, Chile and the Cook Islands. Domestic airline Air Tahiti operates regular air services to/
from more than 40 islands. In 2018, Air Tahiti Nui launched its first subsidiary transport company “Helicopters Tahiti Nui”,
with diverse, on-demand offer of services.
Papeete port is the logistics hub for Tahiti and her islands. It provides a natural protective harbour for cargo ships, container
vessels and tankers arriving from abroad and for a fleet of inter-island smaller vessels regularly serving the 5 archipelagos.
It is also a port of call for many international cruise ships that regularly sail across our islands.

TOURISM:
A BOOMING SECTOR
The tourism industry is central in the economy of French Polynesia. It thus represents the first exported own resource
of French Polynesia, with revenue in the order of XPF 65 billion, i.e. 17% of the Country‘s GDP in 2018. This sector
totals more than 3,300 companies (i.e. 12% of the Polynesian businesses) which generate 17% of the local businesses’
total revenue, with about 11,500 employees (i.e. 18% of the salaried workforce).
International air transport
The objective is to open the Polynesian skies. French
Polynesia has already initiated discussions with the
aeronautical authorities of the USA, China, Europe,
Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Tahiti offers direct flights to Tokyo, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Auckland, Rarotonga, Honolulu,
Easter Island and secondary connections to Europe
via Los Angeles, and then Paris or London, Mexico
via Los Angeles, Australia (Sydney) via Auckland and
Chile via Easter Island.

Sailing and charter sailing
French Polynesia has always been a haven for sea
travellers. Its protected environment and leading-
edge port infrastructure make it a premium
destination for ships and sailing vessels based in the
waters of its welcoming Islands.
Cruise and nautical tourism generate major benefits,
contributing to the promotion of the image of
Tahiti and her islands worldwide. During the last
decade, French Polynesia has made cruise tourism
a development priority. With two large cruise ship
piers in the roadstead, Papeete Harbour is a true
international cruise port, able to simultaneously
accommodate 4 visiting or French Polynesia-based
cruise liners. In addition, a project planning to build
an international cruise terminal aims to strengthen
head-end capacities and improve the management
of arrivals and departures.
Charter sailing is also booming. It is an alternative
option to standard hotels. It is the subject of all
the attention and support of the Government of
French Polynesia. The fleet is constantly being
modernized and offers multiple options to discover
the Polynesian archipelagos.

OPPORTUNITY
French Polynesia, as the owner of the atoll,
with the sole purpose of facilitating tourism
development and to lay the foundations for a
IN THE WORLD major project.
Resolutely reserved for a very upscale hotel
project, Tupai represents a very rare opportunity:
to benefit from the immediate charm of a jewel
set on the deep blue of the ocean and enjoy the
advantages, in addition to the Polynesian status
and reality, of a selection of aids and motivating
incentivess.
T H E H E A R T O F T H E O C E A N - T U P A I 9
THE LAST PARADISE…
Tupai is a coral island of 11 km2, located just
16 km north of Bora Bora. It is a special atoll, first
because of its almost perfect heart shape that
one discovers when flying above, then because
of its double lagoon and incredible shades of
blue, but also because of its preserved nature.
Here the birds nest on the ground without
fear, sea turtles lay their eggs in pristine white
sand beaches and fauna and flora have slowly
forgotten man. It is a place where time is
suspended, a virgin island as only few remain on
our oceans.
The atoll was once a coconut plantation, owned
by Mr. Lejeune, a notary in Papeete. Then it
was bought by the Government of French
Polynesia, and the atoll became government-
owned property in order not only to preserve
its heritage but also to protect its exceptional
nature. There was a time when the atoll was
also used to welcome high-ranking visiting
dignitaries.
10 T U P A I - T H E H E A R T O F T H E O C E A NTHE END OF THE WORLD
BECOMES ACCESSIBLE
From its ancient history, the island has retained only the most useful infrastructure.
Thus, the airstrip built by the first owner was redesigned in 2003 by the Government.
Its dimensions were increased from 730 to 900 metres in length and 12 to 23 meters
in width. Such dimensions are adapted to a tourist exploitation of the island, both
regarding transport of passengers and logistics: special or regular refuelling. It was also
in 2003 that the Government created a passage (a channel) in the north of the island.
This channel did not alter the ecosystem of the atoll as it was already open onto the
ocean through several hoas, shallow channels. This 10 metre-deep by 10 metre-wide
channel already makes it possible for yachts to pass but it can be developed in order
to accommodate larger boats. These developments that are already compliant with
international standards place this preserved atoll at one hour flight from Papeete and a
few minutes from Bora Bora, its famous neighbour.
T H E H E A R T O F T H E O C E A N - T U P A I 11MORE THAN A DESTINATION,
MORE THAN A DREAM ATOLL
Few tourism opportunities enclose so many benefits. Tupai, in addition to its natural and unspoiled beauty, has an
airstrip and a channel, and is close to a legendary destination: Bora Bora, the Pearl of the Pacific. It especially uses its
iconic heart shape to promote its image, its communication and unparalleled charm targeted at what constitutes the
heart of Polynesian tourism: romantic and wedding tourism.
12 T U P A I - T H E H E A R T O F T H E O C E A N… AN EVOCATION OF PARADISE Soon open to cruise ships, yachts and chartered boats, the Atoll of Tupai is particularly suitable for the implementation of a high-end complex that would crown it as a true major destination for international customers in search of the exceptional. We propose that we build together this new project, by making available not only the resources of the atoll and the land required, but also to assist you through dedicated services and specific support to ensure a mutually profitable success.

The Government of French Polynesia owns, in Tahiti and the outer islands, extended terrestrial
and maritime public domain which it can make available to any interested investor for any
developmental project such as: golf courses, marinas, pontoons, over-water bungalows, diving
centres, etc. Except in special cases where there are pre-established pricing grids, the Council of
Ministers may decide to tailor pricing and adjust the amount of royalties to the investment effort
made by the holders of occupancy permits. It can even fix a reduced fee or a fee waiver during
the pre-construction and construction phases.
