Economy
Fiji has one of the more developed economies among the Pacific island nations, an upper-middle-income economy led by tourism, sugar, and remittances, though it remains vulnerable to cyclones and political instability.
Tourism is the dominant industry, drawing visitors to its beaches and resorts, alongside the traditional sugar industry, in a country that has experienced several military coups since independence.
The economy rests on tourism (the mainstay), sugar, fishing, bottled water (a notable export), and remittances from Fijians working abroad.
