Fiji Islands were a well-kept secret of the indigenous people of Fiji 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.
