Tahiti Tourisme ‘Reality’ Traveller Video Series Starts Finding ‘Mana’ In June!

It will be a reality show with a difference when a family from England and two couples – one from Brazil and one from the US – star in a real-life travel video series to be released in 2018, ‘Two Stories/One Mana’, promoting The Islands of Tahiti to audiences around the world.
The new ‘stars’ of Tahiti Tourisme’s Global Destination Campaign were cast after a global social media casting call attracted over 400 would-be participants. The real travellers will fly to The Islands of Tahiti in June, courtesy of Air Tahiti Nui, for an experience ranging from secluded luxury to ‘being a part of it all’ in the vibrant Tahitian culture and adventure.
Activities will highlight Tahitians’ belief in ‘Mana’, the spiritual life force that connects all things, and the heart of Tahiti Tourisme’s global brand ‘Embraced By Mana’.
“We’ve been casting real-life couples and families because we want people to relate to the authentic experiences of real travellers and be able to picture themselves finding their own Mana in The Islands of Tahiti,” said Tahiti Tourisme CEO Paul Sloan.
