Bring your togs, sunscreen, pareo, sun hat, book, glasses.... Oh, and the guest speaker.
The climate Tahiti enjoys is
fairly constant all year round, with a daytime temperature usually between 28-33
degrees Celsius. The temperature drops overnight by approximately
7 degrees. New Zealand and Australian passport holders as well as a number
of other European, American and Asian passport holders do not require a visa,
so why not make this beautiful destination your next incentive or corporate
request? Worried the accommodation is not up to the standard of an incentive
destination? Well don't! Tahiti and Her Islands offer an amazing variety
and level of accommodation. There are many world-class hotels, resorts
and island escapes to choose from. Have a look at the magnificent options
Tahiti has to offer on the following pages, however before you do, let us share
with you the words that journalist Graeme Lay used to describe Tahiti.
"Polynesians first migrated to the high volcanic islands and atolls
of region from the west, over two thousand years ago. Traditional
Tahitian culture was communally based, spiritually and hierarchical. Today,
this culture not only survives, it thrives. Tahitian carving, dance, singing,
drumming, drama, language and tattoo are evident everywhere, not only in the
tourist resorts, but in the many villages, in the streets and market of the
capital city Papeete, in the craft workshops of the Marquesas and amid the tranquil
atoll villages of the Tuamotu's. Tahitian culture has adapted imaginatively
and robustly to the modern age."
"What makes Tahiti unique, however, is its blend of Polynesian,
French and Oriental cultures, its melange of European, Pacific and Asian civilisation.
The different cultures of French Polynesia come together beneath a vista of
sea, sky, lagoon and mountains, a land and people which inspired artist like
Gauguin and Matisse and writers such as Pierre Loti, Herman Melville and W.
Somerset Maugham. The artists left an immortal record in words and pictures
of the Tahiti they saw. The Tahiti of today may be faster and more developed,
but in essence it remains as those first voyagers, painters and writers saw
it, an island world of sublime beauty and inspiration."
