FX.co ★ Five least visited countries

Tuvalu

Tuvalu is a tiny island nation in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean. It consists of four islands and five atolls no higher than 5 m above the sea and 21 km long. Tuvalu is quite vulnerable to climate change and risks to submerge in the nearest future. That’s why its motto invites everyone to visit the country today as tomorrow it may be too late.

Like in all Polynesian countries, Tuvalu’s climate is warm and humid. However, an annual tourist flow is around a thousand people. You can get to the only inhabited island Funafuti is by flying from Fiji airport. The reward will be beautiful beaches, amazing tropical vegetation, clear water and marine biodiversity.

Montserrat

Those who enjoy exploring abandoned cities will appreciate this overseas territory of the UK. Montserrat is located on the island of the same name, which is part of the Lesser Antilles. The only way to reach Montserrat is by plane or by ferry from the islands of Antigua.

The Soufrière Hills volcano eruption in 1995 divided the life on the island into before and after. The majority of inhabitants had left the island over 20 years ago with few returned. Currently Montserrat has only two hotels. The majority of the beaches is covered with black volcanic ash.

Kiribati
