    Dr. Frances Steel from the University of Wollongong in Australia will give a lecture titled "'Fiji is Really the Honolulu of the Dominion:' Tourism, Empire and New Zealand’s Pacific, c. 1900-1935". The lecture will discuss how tourism and travel in the early 20th century were shaped by New Zealand's colonial history and relationship with Pacific neighbors. It will also cover how the expansion of American company Matson Steam Navigation into the region in the 1920s-1930s impacted commercial and political dynamics by connecting Suva and Auckland in their passenger routes, creating new competition for New Zealand's Union Company.

    Dr. Steel will discuss the early twentieth-century history of travel and tourism in light of colonial New Zealands cultural and political history. That history includes changes in New Zealands relationship with its Pacific neighbors as a result of Americas push into the region with the Matson Steam Navigation Company. During the 1920s and 1930s, Suva and Auckland became part of Matsons trans-Pacific passenger routes, creating new competition with the Union Company of New Zealand and bringing significant commercial and political changes to the region.
