The world's least visited island nation

With more than 100 small islands dotting the South Pacific Ocean, Tuvalu is one of the world's smallest and most isolated countries. With a total land area of 26 square kilometers, the island nation's population is only about 11,000 people, most of them living on the main island or the capital, Funafuti. There is only one airport on the island with 2 flights per week, from here visitors will visit other islands by ferry. Each year Tuvalu welcomes about 2,000 visitors.

News and travel sites like CNN, and Culture Trip call Tuvalu a paradise island. The country possesses islands surrounded by a turquoise sea, sunny beaches, and a low crime rate. In particular, this place is also empty of tourists, not commercialized, and is an ideal place to rest and relax. Most of the islands in Tuvalu are located just over 3 meters above sea level. Scientists predict that this country will soon disappear in about 50-100 years due to coastal erosion and sea-level rise.
