My trip to the Kingdom of Tonga was fantastic. We were the first travel agent group in about 10 years to visit Tonga from North America.
The land is very similar to Fiji, in that there is an abundance of palm trees and gorgeous tropical plants and flowers everywhere, but it's quite a few years behind the times as far as tourism goes. That is why we went to Tonga, why they set up this trip for us, so we can sell it as a destination and help out their country. We were shown a range of accommodations and they are in desperate need of tourists to fill up the hotel rooms.. It is not a location of everyone; you definitely have to go with the flow. It may be better a few years from now for a more diverse range of tourists but for now, it's a bit behind, which is what some people want, one of the few places left that are not touristy.
