The Republic of Vanuatu is a country located in the South Pacific Ocean close to Australia & Fiji. Vanuatu consists of a chain of 83 islands with a total land area of 12,199km². The country is a former joint protectorate of the UK and France and achieved independence in 1980. It is now a member of the United Nations and the Commonwealth. This settlement pattern resulted in the main languages spoken on the archipelago to this day being English, French and Bislama. The Vanuatu economy is primarily based on agriculture which makes the island selfsufficient. Cocoa, kava and timber are the most important exports, with Australia and New Zealand being the main export destinations. Tourism and financial services also make up an important part of the economy of Vanuatu. The Government has recently improved air connections, resort development and cruise facilities in order to boost the tourism sector. The main tourist attractions include the unique flora and fauna as well as one of the most easily accessible active volcanoes in the world.
