Fiji
On the other hand, a coup in 1987 by native Fijians, and again in 2000, has bought vast damage to Fiji's tourism industry, as well as its reputation internationally. Resentment persists over the coup in 2000, with harsh divisions over a bill proposed to give amnesties to those who were involve. More recently, on December 5, 2006, a military coup occurred and the country is now under the authority of the army, headed by Commodore Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama. The country has declared state of emergency and it has been suspended from the Commonwealth; travelers to the country are advised to take extra caution and any huge gatherings or demonstrations should be stayed away from. Nevertheless, despite the existing political problems of its country, some travelers just can't seem to resist the magnificent beauty of its islands, bordered with eye-catching coral reefs and cradled by warm sapphire waters, making it perfect for snorkeling and diving aficionados. Its miles of splendid white sandy beaches, seem to be the blissful escape of those seeking the calmness and attractiveness of nature. The population of the island, which resides mainly on two major islands of Vanua Levu and Viti Levu, is split nearly equally between Indo-Fijians and native Fijians, the offspring of indentured workers from India; mixing among the two groups is least, and unofficial separation runs deep at nearly every society level. Regardless of Fiji's troubled past, Fijians are recognized as among the world's friendliest people; known for not being judgmental and seldom express negative attitudes. Most importantly, traditions still prevail in the majority of villages, particularly those far from urban and town centers. Finally, the island takes pride in its unbelievable "six-meter" wave called the Cloud Breaker, found on the offshore of Tavarua, a spot that still attracts surfers from all over the globe. Fiji can be an enchanting place to be for travelers, where its true charm sits in the heart of it fascinating blend of diverse cultures. |
