Local Island Tourism with a Twist!!!


At the beginning of tourism 1972-1980's several tourist tend to visit the local islands and interact with the local communities, but now it been consider something which even tourist are hesitant to experience. The island tend to congest and the people living are much more on the developing stage.

To my knowledge guest who has been to local islands talk about the unclean beaches and garbage’s all around the island, do we care for an instance when we say we are open for both local and international tourist, our surrounding remains as horrific as never!

This is heart breaking since we always say our islands are coral islands with nice lagoon and white sandy beaches, but its not true for most island where local lives, I would never encourage a guest to be to a local island.

We do not realise how tense is our garbage problem , specially man made, plastics ...! The lagoon are fully of rubbish..!!!

A dream we hoped has faded away due to unclean beaches and lagoon...
