Two years on from Cyclone Pam and Vanuatu's vital tourism industry is still recovering.

The category five storm caused major damage to the island chain, all but wiping out tourist infrastructure like hotels and resorts.

Vanuatu's Tourism Minister, Joe Natuman, told Pacific Beat the industry is climbing back but it's not an easy task after something as devastating as Cyclone Pam.

Natuman says a lot of the hotels and resorts had to struggle and use their own resources to come up again.

He adds Vanuatu had to do a lot of campaigning in Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia which are the main source markets to attract tourists back to Vanuatu.
