The problem

Strong tourism. Fragile foundations.

French Polynesia welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year - yet the tourism infrastructure still runs on WhatsApp and Excel, Facebook, and foreign platforms that were never built for the Fenua.

2,500+
Tourism providers in French Polynesia need a local platform

Outdated ecosystem

the Fenua is based on a non-digital and inefficient infrastructure

Financial challenge

tourism providers live inside an isolated, highly expensive financial system

Visitors can't find you

If you're not on a foreign OTA, you simply don't exist for most of the travellers.

Lost value

Foreign platform take the guest relationships out of Polynesia. None of it stays.

VAI A modular digital ecosystem, built in French Polynesia, by people who understand the market. Guides own their guest relationships, data stays local, value stays in the islands.
The platform

Two products. One ecosystem.

Open role

Community & Growth

Guides are the heart of the platform. This role is about supporting them - onboarding, day-to-day success, long-term retention. You will be the voice of guides in product decisions and the first person they call when something goes wrong. If you are passionate about the Fenua and connected to its tourism community, we are genuinely glad you reached out.

Development & Campaigns

Anoe is coming out of stealth. This role is about building demand: acquisition campaigns in source markets, search, content, distribution partnerships, and a rigorous read of the numbers to know what actually works. You would work directly on growing the traveller side of the platform, with the freedom to test fast. If you have taken a product from local traction to international scale before, we want to talk.

Our mission

VAI means water in Tahitian.

Digital sovereignty for French Polynesia

VAI establishes digital sovereignty for French Polynesia's tourism economy, empowering local entrepreneurs through human-centric technology and sustainable development practices. We are building the digital infrastructure that enables French Polynesia to control its economic destiny while creating a profitable, scalable technology business.

Our philosophy

The navigator always led the canoe

Tech to Empower Human Potential

We view technology as a force multiplier for human creativity and purpose. VAI uses AI and automation not to replace people, but to free them from repetitive tasks, enhance decision-making, and enable local entrepreneurship. By simplifying complexity and democratizing access to advanced tools, we help local businesses act with the power of large organizations - without losing their identity or values.

Who are you?

VAI is built for three kinds of people.
