Fiji was a relatively well-kept secret by the islands' indigenous people until around 1987, today; it is a booming tourist destination with over 300 islands in its archipelago. After 1987, the secret was out and more and more visitors turned into permanent residents creating a multi-cultural society with an interesting and unique blend of Chinese, European, Indian, Melanesian, Micronesian, and Polynesian influences.

The Fiji Islands are home in the South Pacific Ocean west of Tonga, east of Vanuatu, and south of Tuvalu is one of the more developed of the Pacific island economies offering resources in fish, forest, and minerals. Tourism is one of the major contributors to the economy of Fiji along with their sugar exports, which is one-third of their industry activity.

The island of Fiji has much to offer to all our senses from spectacular blue lagoons, to palm covered beaches to rugged mountains. A Fiji vacation offers more than just eye candy. There are many adventures awaiting under the sea with scuba diving and snorkeling as one of the top picks for this enchanting land.
