Tahiti
Tourism
Tahiti
tourism draws vacationers from all over the world. With its
tropical climate and exotic beauty, it's easy to have a relaxing
time in this exotic destination. Far removed from typical spring
break vacationers and rowdy crowds, Tahiti is in a class by
itself. If you are seeking a special experience, spectacular
scenery, few tourists and no giant hotels, then Tahiti is for
you. To paint a picture, Hawaii gets more tourists in a week
than Tahiti does in an entire year. And, you will not have to
put up with vendors or beggars--they do not exist. The Tahitians
have a high standard of living and would not think of bothering
anyone or hawking stuff to tourists.
The term "French Polynesia" refers to five archipelagos spread
over an expanse of the South Pacific approximately the size
of Western Europe (2,000,000 square miles or approximately 5,000,000
square kilometers). The region includes the Marquesas, the Tuamotus,
the Society Islands, the Australs and the Gambiers. Each of
these archipelagos has its own culture, ethnicity and climate.

The
stimulus of French Polynesia economy is tourism and natural
resources. While tourism brings in much of the region's capital,
it is followed by such natural products as coconut, mother-of-pearl
shells, cultured pearls, fishing, aquaculture, and vanilla.
Papeete,
the capital, has grown into a modern city with a variety of
new public facilities: shopping centers, boutiques, restaurants,
night clubs and bars, art galleries and museums and all have
their own special attractions.
There
are four international airlines serving Papeete, the capital
of Tahiti, from the USA. It is just a short 7.5 hour flight,
non-stop from Los Angeles, or a 10 hour flight non-stop from
New York. Foreigners wishing to visit French Polynesia must
have a valid passport, which, depending on the nationality of
the visitor, contains a valid visa. Such visitors must also
have an airline ticket back to their resident country or to
at least two more continuing destinations.
Air
Tahiti operates a number of flights daily to the outer islands.
Flights start early in the morning and end soon after dark.
If only going to Moorea from Tahiti, you have a choice between
flying and taking the ferry. The flight only takes approximately
15 minutes, whereas the ferry will take approximately 45 minutes.
It is easy and inexpensive to go from Tahiti to Moorea or vice
versa on a day trip. However, it is just not practical to go
to any of the outer islands without an overnight stay. There
is no ferry service returning the same day and the air schedules
are such that it would leave you with no time to explore the
island.
