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 />
