Weston, CT Phoenix Mt. Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto Fiji is emerging as the hot spot in the Pacific. Tourist arrivals are booming and many resorts are reaching full capacity. The introduction of low cost airlines, coupled with the appeal of Fiji as both a safe haven and one of the few remaining unspoiled tourist destinations is driving demand. Developers and investors appear enthusiastic about market prospects. This enthusiasm is also being stimulated by the Fiji Government, which is offering generous financial and tax incentives to encourage new development. Situated in the heart of the South Pacific, the Republic of Fiji comprises 333 islands. Sunny, unique and friendly, the Fiji Islands are one thousand miles of pristine white sand beaches, fabulous coral gardens and azure lagoons. Fiji enjoys a tropical maritime climate, without undue extremes of humidity and temperature. The population of Fiji is approximately 832,000 people, most of whom live on the two main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu and comprise a combination of native Fijians (53%), Indians (40%) and a balance of other races. In 1970 Fiji was granted independence and became a self-governing nation within the Commonwealth, after 96 years of British rule.
