Hi and welcome to my second blog entry. My topic as you know is ‘Destination Fiji’, I will be discussing about this beautiful country and the absolutely incredible holiday destinations on offer. Firstly, Fiji is a small island nation located in the South Pacific about 2100 kilometers north of Auckland, New Zealand. It consists of over 300 islands with Viti Levu and Vanua Levu as the 2 largest ones. Fiji Islands is a truly multicultural country representing about 10 different races, these are: Fijians, Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Samoans, Solomon Islanders, Tongans, Europeans, Rotumans, etc. The three major religions in Fiji are Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. English, Fijian and Hindi are the most popular languages. Suva and Lautoka are the only cities in the country, with Suva being the capital city, which is also a port of entry for major ships including the world’s leading cruise ships. The rest are small towns located on the coasts of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Some really small towns are also located inland, examples include: Seaqaqa, Nadarivatu, Vunidawa, Vatukoula etc. Tourism is the biggest earner for the economy while sugar export is second. There are two international airports, one in Nadi and the other in Nausori. Nadi airport caters for huge aircrafts like the Boeing 767, 747, 777, while the biggest aircraft that Nausori airport can handle is a 737 – 800.
