Tonga ([ˈtoŋa]; Tongan: Puleʻanga Fakatuʻi ʻo Tonga), officially the Kingdom of Tonga, is a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 177 islands of which 52 islands are inhabited. The total surface area is about 750 square kilometres (290 sq mi) scattered over 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) of the southern Pacific Ocean. It has a population 103,000 people of whom 70% reside on the main island of Tongatapu.
Tonga stretches over about 800 kilometres (500 mi) in a north-south line – about a third of the distance from New Zealand to Hawaii. It is surrounded by Fiji and Wallis and Futuna (France) to the northwest, Samoa to the northeast, Niue to the east, Kermadec (part of New Zealand) to the southwest, and New Caledonia (France) and Vanuatu to the farther west.
Tonga became known as the Friendly Islands because of the congenial reception accorded to Captain James Cook on his first visit in 1773. He arrived at the time of the ʻinasi festival, the yearly donation of the First Fruits to the Tuʻi Tonga (the islands' paramount chief) and so received an invitation to the festivities. According to the writer William Mariner, the chiefs wanted to kill Cook during the gathering but could not agree on a plan.

Tonga's economy is characterized by a large nonmonetary sector and a heavy dependence on remittances from the half of the country's population that lives abroad, chiefly in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.Much of the monetary sector of the economy is dominated, if not owned, by the royal family and nobles.This is particularly true of the telecommunications and satellite services.Much of small business, particularly retailing on Tongatapu, is now dominated by recent Chinese immigrants who arrived under a cash-for-passports scheme that ended in 1998. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Tonga License: Public domain ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- This channel is dedicated to make Wikipedia, one of the biggest knowledge databases in the world availabl...

Women are driving development across East Asia Pacific. Around two thirds of women in the region work, and more women manage and own firms in East Asia Pacific than in other developing regions. Nonetheless, women still earn less than men for similar work --around 70 to 80 percent on average. From Indonesia to Vietnam to Tonga to China, IFC is working to empower women in business in the region.

This is the story of two family businesses, in Colombia and Egypt, that show the people and policies behind their longevity and success. Family businesses are the oldest and most prevalent form of business in the world. In many countries, family businesses represent up to 70 percent of the economy and play a big role in employment, growth, and quality of life. But most family businesses ultimately fail: about 95 percent do not survive the third generation of ownership.

The coconut is an indispensable ingredient in Polynesian life. Its milk provides a nourishing beverage. It is also dried into Copra for use in cooking oil and body oil.

This film tells the story of a group of doctors who went to the South Pacific islands of Tonga to immunize people against smallpox, using an experimental vaccination device. The narrator, one of the doctors, gives a brief history of Tonga, explaining that the small population is peaceful, isolated, and has no history of smallpox. He then explains the new jet injection gun, operated by foot pedal, which is much cheaper and more efficient than standard vaccination methods. Doctors first vaccinate the royal family which sets an example for the rest of the population, who willingly accept the vaccinations and are pleasantly surprised by the relatively painless process. After vaccinating everyone on the main island, the doctors take fishing boats out to the smaller surrounding islands to vaccin...

We traveled for weeks in Tonga with 2 big packpacks and 2 little kids: Sometimes hitch-hiking on trucks or lorries, sometimes on fisherboats or on kayaks. On the 176 Islands of Tonga you are always close to the water.
Promo video we filmed for the Tonga Visitors Bureau, the National Tourist Office of the Kingdom of Tonga. They asked for a 5-7 minute tourism film that would take the viewer on a journey through all 4 island groups. It would showcase traditional and modern culture, local people and their lifestyle, recreational actives, scenery on land and underwater, as well as tourist accommodations and eateries for various budgets. The piece had to transcend language barriers in order to reach a global audience.

NAI'A first expedition in 2016 featured fine weather and wonderfully friendly whales.
R3 (Daily Vlog 4 of 21) Departing from Tonga and deciding what course to take, hoping that the forecasted weather holds true and really really really being like… not worried… but like when you get butterflies but they are the good kind and your feeling ok but have a big task ahead of you but think that you will be able to do it but also know that people have died doing this trip before and definitely wanting to do everything you can to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. Conscientious, sedulous, respectful of the ocean and mother nature, anxious, elated, acknowledging doubts as they arise and trying to be honest about your and the boats capabilities. Big trip.

The final day of swimming with humpback whales in Vava'u, Tonga. If you go to Tonga, this is a MUST DO ACTIVITY!! We got beautiful weather for the first time since we landed! We didn't have as many whale encounters as we would have liked, but on one occasion a juvenile swam right up beside me, got some air, and then circled back to take a better look at me! It was a very cool experience! After the day we went and hung out with our new friends and I reflected on an amazing 3 days of swimming with the humpbacks! Already planning another trip for 2018 =) Thanks for watching! Please subscribe for more adventures!!!

**********************MORE INFO********************** Hello Lovelies, I've been away for a while but here is a treat for you until I am back in the states!!! This is only episode 1 of my trip to Tonga. It's been a GREAT experience coming back to my homeland and seeing the house I grew up in to the school that I attended. Everything here seems to be the way that I remember even the faces of the ones I love. They seem to never really age here as if I'm stepping into a time machine. I've enjoyed visiting our plantation that I used to run around freely in with my siblings. Swinging on vines pretending to be 'George of the Jungle' to feeding the pigs that we would later kill and eat. HAHAHA. These were the days! Days without social media, days where we didn't really talk back to our parents,...

We are back from 2 weeks of backpacking and traveling Tonga! We had an amazing time in Tonga and Im excited to show you what we got up to. Without giving too much away right now...we started out trip in Ha'apai, and spent a day on Lifuka, before going out to Uoleva for 3 days (Freaking AMAZING!). After this we headed off to Vava'u for about 9 days. We spent time in Neiafu and Talihau and explored many other parts of the islands. This is where we also swam with Humpback Whales for 3 days, which was definitely the highlight of the trip for us! We wrapped up our trip with 2 days on Tongatapu and explored most of the island.
