admin Fiji – the mysterious archipelago in South Pacific is truly the tourism destination of the 21st century. Despite of being ruled by military junta, Fiji remains a friendly country and it is safe to go there both alone and with kids.
Half a Million Tourists
Due to close proximity the islands are especially favoured by Australians and New-Zealanders. Fiji day tours are pretty much on their leisure agenda. Last year quarter of a million Australians chose it as their holiday destination. Europeans account for more than 60,000 visitors. The total number of visitors is on a rise. If only 290,000 tourists went to Fiji around the turn of the century, eight years has been enough to increase the total visitor count to 585,000. Not bad at all for a country with population of 849,000.
This is nowhere near the maximum capacity of Fiji tourism industry, though. It is estimated that before 2020 the country will welcome at least one million visitors a year. This will put a huge strain on the government and local people.
