FIFTEEN STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS
The Cook Islands is a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, located in the South Pacific Ocean. Comprising 15 islands, the Cook Islands are known for their stunning natural beauty, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. Rarotonga, the largest island and the administrative center, is home to the majority of the population, while Aitutaki, famous for its turquoise lagoon, is a popular tourist destination.
The economy of the Cook Islands is primarily reliant on tourism, which is the largest contributor to GDP and provides significant employment opportunities. The stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and rich Polynesian culture attract thousands of visitors each year, particularly from New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The government has invested in tourism infrastructure to enhance the visitor experience and promote sustainable practices.
Agriculture, while less dominant than tourism, also plays an essential role in the economy. The islands produce coconuts, fruits, and vegetables, which are consumed locally and exported in smaller quantities. Fishing is another vital sector, supporting both local consumption and export markets, particularly in tuna and other seafood.
Trade is crucial for the Cook Islands, with imports significantly exceeding exports. The territory imports a range of goods, including fuel, machinery, food, and construction materials, primarily from New Zealand and Australia. The Cook Islands also exports agricultural products, fish, and handicrafts, although these represent a smaller fraction of total trade. Overall, the Cook Islands’ economy is characterized by its reliance on tourism and efforts to diversify through agriculture and sustainable practices.
