FIJI 

Fiji is a country with excitement and adventure, and many tourist attractions. Fiji is a friendly and hospitable country with noticeable potential in the tourism sector. Fiji is made up of three hundred and twenty two islands and five hundred and twenty two islets. 

Fiji was initially uninhabited but thousands of years ago, two native communities entered the territory and settled in it. These were the Polynesians and the Melanesians who migrated from Southeast Asia. These communities intermarried and mixed their cultures to form the complex society, the native Fiji group. 

Cannibalism was practiced but was removed during the missionary period in the region. The current population in Fiji consists of majorly the native Fijians, the Melanesians from Melanesia and the Indo-Fiji, a mixed race between the native Fijian and the Indians brought to Fiji by British colonialists to work in the British colony. The language spoken in Fiji is the Austronesia language, a branch of Malayo-Polynesian language group.

Fiji group of islands is a product of volcanic activity hence the existence of large, wide mountains, ranges and hills. The highest point is Mount Tomanivi peak which is approximately one thousand and three hundred meters above sea level. Go hiking in the mountain ranges, join in the nature walks and watch the active Tofua Volcano in Fiji’s Tonga Island. Witness the blow holes along the coastline of Tonagtapu in the same island. 

The magnificent natural features are such as the Upper Navua River that is large enough to enjoy white water rafting with your group of friends, the Tagimaucia Lake in Tavueni Island, the thick rain forests with huge majestic waterfalls.
