The closure of the frontiers in Polynesia has a serious impact on tourism and you probably are thinking of cancelling your trip. Please don’t! This post gives you 5 good reasons to postpone your holiday rather than cancel.
1. ONCE IN A LIFETIME DESTINATION
Bora Bora is a dreamy destination. You probably always wanted to come to Bora Bora and when you booked your holiday you made the best decision in your “travel life”.
Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you will get the impression to arrive in a hidden paradise.
Upon arrival, from the plane, you will admire amazing colors surrounding the island of Bora Bora in the immensity of the Ocean. It is magical and you can’t miss it!
The gorgeous landscapes, the warm climate, the relaxed and romantic atmosphere will make your trip unforgettable.
This trip is on your bucket list so don’t give up on your dream (life is short) and postpone!
2. MOST BEAUTIFUL LAGOON
It is the MOST beautiful lagoon you will ever see in your lifetime! Its colors with so many nuances of blue are unrealistically beautiful. Even with bad weather the lagoon is always showing its best colors. This is the reason why Bora Bora is called the Pearl of the Pacific.
3. POLYNESIAN CULTURE
Polynesia has a beautiful and traditional culture that you will have the occasion to discover during your trip. Indeed, your holiday will not be just about white sandy beaches, overwater bungalows and coconut trees. You will get the opportunity to discover the Polynesian culture.
You might assist to a traditional Polynesian show with its Ori Tahiti (traditional dance) performance, costumes and Tahitian drums.
You will see or even try the Polynesian outrigger canoe: Va’a.
During your excursions you will learn how to braid coconut trees leaves and to open a coconut. But most of all you will see that the culture and the lifestyle are in harmony with the nature.
4. FEWER TOURISTS
Sadly, for the tourism industry, the number of tourists seriously decreased since the Covid-19 crisis. The Polynesian government put in place measures to be able to keep welcoming tourists safely. The tourists who had the chance to come to Bora Bora since the reopening in July 2020 were happy to travel and to disconnect.
If you take the opportunity to come when we open again, you will see that places are not crowded, and you will feel safe. You will encounter fewer travelers and enjoy your holiday in Bora Bora.
5. RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
While responsible tourism is getting popular, you can now decide to be responsible in your travel. Tourism industry takes an important place in the economy of Polynesia. It provides and creates a large number of jobs. When cancelling your trip you will impact directly on the economic survival of the tourism stakeholders, the jobs and the population. So please don’t cancel but postpone.
We all hope that the situation will get better soon but we need to be supportive and make everything we can to limit economic and social damages when the sanitary emergency will be over. We will travel again and your holiday in Bora Bora will definitely create lasting memories!
