Mini Cultural Show In Western Highlands Attracts Tourist

Eight singsing groups took part in celebrating and preserving PNG culture in a cultural show at Rugli in Baiyer, Western Highlands, on Saturday.

The show was organised by the Paradise of Kumdi to coincide with the launching of its traditional products with dancing groups and traditional exhibitions.

Two tourists from the United States came to witness the show which drew people from neighbouring communities.
Missionaries to Papua New Guinea Dr Steve Highlander and wife Brooke from the United States witnessed the show.
The show was held at the Rugli Sugar Market in Baiyer.

Paradise of Kumdi director Nickson McManga said tradition and customs were needed for the world to see.
He said PNG should be proud of its many traditions, customs and languages.

“This is something unique we have and we need to maintain and preserve it and expose it to other countries,” he said.

“This mini show is to launch the products and show to others that we have the potential and pride to show to the others that we are rich in culture and tradition.”

He said it exposed the Rugli cultural dancing site for tourists to visit.

It is looking at developing three more cultural sites in Southern Highlands, Eastern Highlands and Milne Bay.
