Nauru is a small, isolated western Pacific island, which lacks many of the tourist facilities of some of its larger neighbours, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands, or even New Caledonia. Tourism is not a major contributor to the economy,[1] with more than 200 tourists a year visiting the island.
Nauru International Airport is the sole airport on the island. Nauru Airlines, formerly known as Air Nauru and Our Airline, is the only passenger airline operating to the island. It operates four passenger (and one cargo) Boeing 737-300 aircraft out of Brisbane, Australia, and provides an air link to Nadi, Tarawa, Majuro, Pohnpei, Palau and Brisbane.
Accommodationedit
There are four accommodations in Nauru, including the Menen Hotel, the largest hotel on the island, the OD-N-Aiwo Hotel, Ewa Lodge and Goodworks accommodation(serviced apartments). The Menen hosts one restaurant and one bar. The hotel offer views of Anibare bay, off the east coast of the island.
