Vanuatu the Tropical Island Paradise

2010-07-17T17:11:00.000-07:00

http://www.vanuatu.travel The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The archipelago is located some 1,750 km east of Australia, 500 km north-east of New Caledonia.

Vanuatu is only 2.5 hours flying time North East of Brisbane and 3.5 hours from Sydney and a little over 2 hours from Auckland, New Zealand.

Many of the islands of Vanuatu have been inhabited for thousands of years, the oldest archaeological evidence found dating to 2000 BC.

Vanuatu is the land of so much to see, so much to do with a reputation for interesting, fun and educational activities to suit any travellers expectations, from treks and abseiling to deserted beach picnics and wreck dive explorations to Cultural villages.

The people of Vanuatu are extremely friendly and happy

2010-05-26T16:15:00.000-07:00

Vanuatu has a blend of intact tribal communities infused with a rich English and French influence. The people of Vanuatu are extremely friendly and happy. The Happy Planet Index voted it the happiest country on earth and once you visit there it's easy to see why with the laid back lifestyle and abundance of smiles everywhere you go...The fact that the diet of locals here consists entirely of organic foods may also have something to do with it.

Vanuatu Fiji or Bali

2009-04-13T13:56:00.000-07:00

Well Fiji has been such a popular destination for so long but after what has happened there over the last week will more travelers choose to visit Vanuatu or will they still go to Bali in Droves.

With Todays economic downturn and this latest action by the Government Fiji's Tourism has hit a major hurdle and this will probably be the nail in the coffin and I cant see it recovering for along time.

Bali's Tourism is at its highest level ever with Australians flocking there... Australian travelers to Bali during the first two months of 2009 totaled 48,068 a 34.64% increase over the same period in 2008 (35,701).

South East Asia is cheap, has great food, amazing cultures and great weather. There are so many cheap flights hitting those areas and many deals on offer.

For the Gen X and Gen Y it has become a no brainer as to where to visit.

The South Pacific is a beautiful place, but if the Area wants to jump up to the plate and try and attract more Tourist away from Asia then it really needs to do some dramatic changes in its New Media and Marketing to make it a viable proposition for the Tourist.

If it keeps promoting itself like it does then tourist $$$ they are targeting will be coming from an Older crowd.. I have nothing against that but for South Pacific Tourism to become cool and attract a younger demographic crowd it needs more than a few websites and Brochures.. These are great but so Old Skool.

Things will become very hard over the next 12 months and many Business's relying on tourist dollar will strugle. Some will stay afloat and some will sink.

Hopefully The Beautiful South Pacific will keep treading water long enough until the No's start to flow through the airports again.

Peace :)
