Tuvalu

Tuvalu is a remote Pacific island nation whose capital, Funafuti, sits on a narrow coral atoll surrounded by the vast blue of the central Pacific Ocean. The economy relies primarily on fishing rights, remittances from sailors working abroad, and revenue from the country's valuable dot-tv internet domain. Visitors enjoy snorkelling the Funafuti Conservation Area, exploring the main islet of Fongafale, and relaxing on quiet lagoon shores. Local markets offer handwoven pandanus mats, shell jewellery, and traditional fans, crafts that reflect the deep weaving heritage Tuvalu is known for throughout the Pacific.
