Norsup is a quiet town in Vanuatu's Sanma Province, located on the western coast of Espiritu Santo, the country's second largest island. One of the island's inland gateways, the town is surrounded by dense rainforest and fertile agricultural plains, with coconut farming, cocoa and avocado cultivation as its main industries, presenting a picture of a typical rural economy in Vanuatu.
