Kiribati

Kiribati is a remote Pacific island nation whose capital, Tarawa, serves as the hub for both government and commerce. The economy relies heavily on fishing licenses, remittances, and copra production, making fisheries a natural point of interest for business travellers. Visitors can explore the historic wartime sites of Betio, swim in clear lagoon waters around South Tarawa, and visit the lively Bairiki Market for locally woven pandanus mats, shell jewellery, and fresh produce that reflect the craft traditions of I-Kiribati communities.
