They say that the people who live in Vanuatu, a small country located east of Australia, are the happiest in the world. It receives quite a lot of tourists especially from nearby countries despite the fact that it is inhabited by tribal people dressed in tree-bark clothing and grass skirts. Perhaps this is the very thing that makes the country more interesting for travelers.
To travel to Vanuatu, you will have to travel by air either to its capital, Port Vila, or to Luganville. Airlines that fly to the country include Air Vanuatu, Qantas, Aiscalin, Pacific Blue and Flysolomons. However, the biggest airline with the most number of flights to Vanuatu is Air Vanuatu.
Air Vanuatu has played a major role in the tourism industry of the country in the last two decades. It is the flag carrier of Vanuatu with its headquarters located at the Bauerfield International Airport in Port Vila. The airline was established in 1981 shortly after Vanuatu became an independent country.
