French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity located in the South Pacific Ocean, comprising over 100 islands and atolls, with Tahiti being the largest and most populous. Known for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant marine life, and rich cultural heritage, French Polynesia is a premier tourist destination, attracting visitors drawn to its picturesque landscapes, coral reefs, and unique Polynesian culture.
The economy of French Polynesia is primarily driven by tourism, which significantly contributes to the region's GDP and employment. The tourism sector focuses on eco-friendly and sustainable practices, highlighting the islands’ natural beauty while promoting local culture and traditions. Visitors engage in various activities such as diving, snorkeling, and exploring the islands, which helps to sustain local businesses and communities.
Agriculture and fishing also play crucial roles in the economy, with local produce and seafood being important for both domestic consumption and export. Key agricultural products include coconut, vanilla, and breadfruit, while fishing, particularly for tuna, is vital for local diets and economies.
French Polynesia's trade involves a significant reliance on imports, as the region has limited agricultural capacity. The territory imports goods such as machinery, vehicles, food, and fuel, primarily from France, New Zealand, and Australia. Exports include local agricultural products, fish, and handicrafts. Despite challenges like geographic isolation and dependence on imports, French Polynesia's diverse economy, bolstered by tourism and local resources, continues to develop in a sustainable manner.
