Recommended Reading

• Getting Stoned With Savages by J. Maarten Troost.  Comment:  This is Troost's second book about living on islands in the South Pacific.  The first was "The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific."  Both books are very funny and informative about island culture.  Chances are that you would not voluntarily move to Suva after reading the book.  Troost is self deprecating in a wry cynical way.  He makes fun of his slacker personality and international aid agencies with equal ease.  Highly recommended.

Tourism

• Tourism, Fiji Vision.  "The Fiji Islands lie in the south-west Pacific, 220 south of the equator and bisected by the 1800 meridian. Nadi International Airport is the hub of South Pacific air routes and a major stop over for flights between North America and Australia / New Zealand.

Although Fiji is the main centre for tourism in the South Pacific Islands, the numbers of visitors is still relatively small (400,000 annually), and tourists are made to feel somewhat special. Resorts are generally small and many are run privately. There are no high rise hotels and no stretch where commercial tourism has taken over. Intimacy is what Fiji has to offer. Still, the country has more hotels than any of its neighbours, an extensive tourist infrastructure and it is much cheaper than other parts of the South Pacific. The country boasts some of the world's most exclusive small resorts that often feature in Harpers' 'top 50' hotels in the world and Small Luxury Hotels of the World. There are several International hotel chains and some exquisite locally run resorts for couples and families. There are small resorts dedicated to diving, surfing, sailing and art and several luxury cruise itineraries to choose from. There is also an extensive range of budget accommodation and camping throughout the group making it the number one stopover in the Pacific for backpackers .

Fiji is best known as a romantic destination where you can relax on the beach by day and later enjoy cocktails pondering over a stunning tropical sunset. However, few realize quite how diverse and exciting the country is. The dive sights are amongst the best in the world with soft corals, incredible sea life, walls, drifts and shipwrecks to explore. Sailors and surfers alike rave about the waters and friendly local environment. There are hills to climb for stunning views, waterfalls to cool off in, several National Parks with trails, nature reserves for bird watching and walking, rafting trips down rivers and village visits to experience the very traditional Fijian way of life. There are lively markets to visit, Fijian ceremonies to participate in and colourful Hindu festivals to see. What's more, the Fijian people are extremely warm and hospitable and are excellent with kids making it a great family destination explore one of the most peaceful areas of the world, Fiji is an all-round excellent destination for a vacation."
