Kokoda figures double
KOKODA Track – Papua New Guinea's fastest growing tourism icon doubled its figures from 2005 reaching almost 4000 in 2006.
A total of 3745 tourists, mainly Australians, followed in the footsteps of their heros by trekking the 96 kilometer war time track this year.
Kokoda Track Authority which manages the track earned more than half a million Kina in trek fees. KTA pumps back a major portion of the money into villages along the track by funding projects such as schools, aidposts, water supply etc.
According to KTA statistics 1584 tourists walked the track in 2004 and 2374 in 2005.
