1 COOK ISLANDS INAUGURAL CHAPITRE RAROTONGA, APRIL 12-14, 2016 H.F.Phillip Nordt Bailli Delegue La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cook Islands Association Mondiale de la Gastronomie

2 Kia Orana dear Members, You are cordially invited to join us for our inaugural chapitre in the Cook Islands. We are honoured to hold our chapitre here in Rarotonga and welcome you to share this special event with us. Rarotonga is the capital of the Cook Islands, a group of 15 small islands spread over an area of ocean larger that the United Kingdom and Ireland combined, with a population of just 15,000 people. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is a favourite holiday destination for the New Zealand and Australian markets and discerning travellers from around the world, find their way here to experience an unspoiled and largely un-commercialised destination. Join in the island festivities, island dancing, try the Umu Kai, go snorkelling with tropical fish in the turquoise lagoons or go sailing on a vaka, try some of the best game fishing in the world and stay on and visit our world famous Islands such as island of Aitutaki and the mystery island of Atiu. Try island style food and drinks, created by our talented Cook Island Chefs, celebrating the delicious fresh, local and seasonal cuisine served with a Kia Orana and that special island smile. We have no global hotel brands and many of our accommodation properties are quite small but also of a high standard. Below we give you some options for your visit to help celebrate the intronisation of our membership Everyone is welcome to take a seat our table in the traditional style of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cook Islands. We are inviting the rest of the world to join us and experience our unforgettable Island Style hospitality in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. Kia Manuia, H.F.Phillip Nordt Bailli Delegue La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cook Islands Association Mondiale de la Gastronomie
