Travel Situation To Fiji

Travel plans to go to Fiji, require knowledge of the present political situation, but you might want to weigh this up with extremely good travel deals.

Australia has just downgraded it's travel warnings for Fiji to "high degree of caution". With this in mind travellers need to weigh up the political situation against the great travel deals on offer.

Travellers should consider going to Fiji very carefully and realise that the political situation is tense. There are checkpoints in the streets with armed military personal making spot checks on passing vehicles and pedestrians, and it may be that curfews will be imposed at any time.

And yet travellers are being encouraged to visit Fiji with great air and hotel deals. Most of the major resorts seem to be unaffected by the fallout from the coup with an occupancy rate of 80% over the Christmas/New Year period.

The Australian travel warning was first aired as there were real fears of violence in the country when military leader Commander Frank Bianimarama overthew the elected Prime Minister on December 5th 2006.

If you want to look at Fiji as a destination then look at the political situation carefully and weigh this up against the travel deals on offer.
