Introducing <strong>Fiji</strong><br />
Bula bula!<br />
It is probably no surprise that the UK & Ireland<br />
is one of <strong>Fiji</strong>’s major international markets.<br />
After all, beyond its lush islands, sparkling<br />
white coral beaches, brilliant blue lagoons and a<br />
sunny climate, there is much to make the British<br />
and Irish visitor feel very much at home.<br />
English is widely spoken, traffic drives on the left<br />
and laws follow a British system. All in all, it is a<br />
very comfortable place and one which, without<br />
fail, extends a warm welcome.<br />
What’s more, <strong>Fiji</strong> has now become much more<br />
affordable following the introduction of a direct,<br />
twice weekly, flight with Air Pacific to Nadi<br />
International Airport out of Hong Kong following<br />
a new code share agreement with Cathay Pacific.<br />
Offering a high standard of affordable<br />
accommodation, <strong>Fiji</strong> is an idyllic honeymoon<br />
destination and those in search of adventure can<br />
do almost anything in this paradise whether it be<br />
surfing, soft coral diving, deep sea fishing, shark<br />
diving, rib boating, zip wiring or sailing.<br />
The two main islands of Viti Levu and the<br />
smaller Vanua Levu, are home to around 80<br />
percent of <strong>Fiji</strong>’s population but visitors tend to<br />
head straight for one of the 333 tropical volcanic<br />
outer islands, spread across 500 miles of ocean, in<br />
search of surf, sand, adventure and romance.<br />
Some of the best diving and snorkelling in the<br />
world can be found on the outer islands of the<br />
Mamanucas or Yasawas.<br />
Once away from the capital, the pace is slow<br />
and timetables are rarely adhered to, so don’t go<br />
to <strong>Fiji</strong> unless you’re ready to kick back and relax.<br />
The beautiful coral islands tick to their own gentle<br />
rythmn and the genuine warm ‘Bula’ welcome of<br />
song and smiles will soon put you in the right<br />
frame of mind.<br />
<strong>Fiji</strong> islanders are a naturally friendly, cheerful<br />
� You’ll soon get into the swing of things in paradise<br />
and fun loving people and seek to draw visitors<br />
into their culture. Hospitality is warm and<br />
spontaneous and the family is important. <strong>Fiji</strong> is<br />
responding to the growth in the long haul family<br />
holiday market with a range of family-orientated<br />
resorts offering activities for all ages.<br />
<strong>Fiji</strong> also has a lot to offer young travellers and<br />
with several UK-based organisations offering<br />
voluntary programmes for conscientious travellers,<br />
it makes a great gap year destination.<br />
...the coral islands tick to<br />
their own gentle rythmn and<br />
the genuine warm ‘Bula’ welcome<br />
of song and smiles will soon put<br />
you in the right frame of mind...<br />
