Answer» What is South Pacific Tourism Organization mean? The Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) formerly known as the South Pacific Tourism Organisation is an intergovernmental organisation for the tourism sector in the South Pacific. The PTO markets, promotes, and develops tourism in the Pacific in overseas markets. The main office is located in Suva, Fiji. Originally, the organization was funded by the European Union as a form of development aid. However, EU funding expired in 2004 and was not renewed. From that point onwards, the SPTO was forced to find other sources of income, which resulted in China becoming a member of the SPTO board. reference
