Fiji
Fiji’s beautiful blue waters, coral reefs that stretch for miles and its peaceful islands are all reasons to visit. Why go to Fiji in 2023? One reason is that the country reopened only at the end of 2021. This means that the visitor numbers have not yet fully recovered.
Explore the above-ground treasures of this country, as well. The only UNESCO World Heritage Site in the country is Levuka. This former capital, a port and a major city, is dotted with British colonial buildings and coconut and mango tree.
Travelers can learn more about local Indigenous communities by taking part in the kava welcome ceremony, named after the traditional drink that is at its heart, or enjoying a loveo meal, which is cooked over hot coals using banana leaf-covered pits.
Fiji Airways has now direct flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco making it easier to reach the islands. As Fijians would say Bula. LM
