DESTINATION

Luganville Town

Luganville is the second largest city in Vanuatu. Its population is 16,312. The city is called Santo by people from Vanuatu’s northern islands, who use Luganville as their big city. It is called Kanal by rural residents of the large island of Espiritu Santo on which the city lies.
During World War II about 40,000 United States military personnel were stationed in Luganville and it is estimated that between 400,000 and 500,000 military personnel took R & R on the island, operating 3 bomber airfields, a huge wharf and a nearby drydock. This era in Luganville’s history is evident in the military-constructed Quonset huts still scattered around town.

The current population of Luganville is quite diverse. It comprises a vast majority of indigenous Ni-Vanuatu, and it also has a small population of Chinese and European descendants (English and French). Some of the locals, although residing in Luganville, come from other parts of Santo or different islands within Vanuatu.

Luganville has changed with the expansion of businesses and shops in the town. However, critics have claimed that Luganville has great potential and should have developed its economy further since Vanuatu gained its independence from Great Britain and France in 1980.
Luganville has the second largest hospital in Vanuatu called Northern District Hospital, built before independence by the French administration. The hospital provides services to residents in Luganville and people in rural parts of Santo. Additionally, the hospital serves people in other northern islands of Vanuatu, such as Banks. Still, the hospital is often underfunded by the central Government. It often relies on aid from overseas countries, most notably France, Australia, New Zealand, and China.
