A regional airline says it will promote Tonga as a holiday destination to affluent second generation Australians of Pacific Island backgrounds.

The Matangi Tonga reports Pacific Blue and the Tongan Ministry of Tourism have just concluded a four day visit to Tonga by a nine member delegation.

The delegation included Tongan and Samoan travel agents, and the airline's staff from Sydney.

Pacific Blue staff say they're confident Tonga can be made attractive to Tongan-Australians.
