Fiji is a developed tourist state


The most developed island state of Oceania in terms of tourism is the Republic of Fiji, located on the archipelago of the same name. Nature has provided all the opportunities for the development of tourism: more than 300 islands delight the eye with turquoise lagoons, gorgeous beaches, uplands with evergreen vegetation. Of all the islands only 100 are inhabited, on the rest people do not live.

The only disadvantages of vacation in Fiji can be considered its high cost and too long flight with transit visas, with many transfers and overnight stays. But these difficulties can only add spice to the stay in Fiji, making such a vacation the domain of the most courageous and wealthy tourists, ready to go to overcome any obstacles for the sake of a trip that will give the richest memories.

The main islands of the Republic of Fiji are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, Ovalau, Mamanuca and Yasawa.

Yasawa is recognized as the best island for weddings. Wedding ceremonies here are unrealistically beautiful, so there are quite a few newlyweds who want to get married in Fiji.
