| Fiji in a Coconut Shell |
 Fiji is an exotic, beautiful and progressive group of 322 islands located in the hub of the South Pacific with a total land area of 18,333 sq km. A former British colony, Fiji has been independent since 1970 and has a multi-racial population of some 790,000 (as of June 1995).
Most of the country is made up of high islands of volcanic origin with smaller groups of coral atolls. Fiji has a tropical ocean climate with prevailing south-east trade winds. Temperatures are commonly down to around 20C (68F) during the cool dry period between May and October, and can rise to 32C (90F) during the warmer period from November to April. |

 Tourism is now the most significant indurstry with around 350,000 visitors per year. Many overseas visitors are acquiring freehold lots to build homes or have as an investment. Freehold land is, indeed, a precious commodity in the South Pacific. According to a recent Island Business magazine article "now a new wave of settler is moving into the islands, drawn by the prospect of a different future there. Surrounded with coconut plantations, untouched rainforests and fringed by miles of unsullied coastal coral reef and sand." The great majority of land is held in perpetual trust for the Fijian people and only 8% has freehold title that can be bought and resold. The Fiji Trade and Investment Board offers an exciting range of incentives and concessions to encourage foreign investment. |
