BULA! You hear this a lot (and loud) in Fiji. It’s more than a greeting, it’s the spirit of the country. With 333 islands, white sandy beaches and year-round tropical warmth, it is hard not to feel happy and relaxed in this Pacific Island nation. You won’t be able to escape the friendliness of the Fijian people or the sheer natural beauty – get ready for swaying palms, warm, clear water and a much slower pace, also known as ‘island time’!
Tourism is a large part of the Fijian economy, and with two years of no visitors, it has been using the time to spruce things up and create new experiences. Now they are ready to warmly welcome you and provide a holiday to remember. Here’s what’s new….
