The local (Chinese/Indian) social, political, economic environment is likely to prove overwhelming (I was going to say "hostile" or even uninviting). Visitors from Fiji to China, after having had some first rate Chinese food, visited the Great Wall and taken in some traveling are likely to head back home quickly. Ditto for India: after you've seen the Taj, eaten some great Indian food and mithai, and done some traveling like taking a quick look at Bollywood and its less inviting environs, visitors from Fiji would want to head back home.

They are desirable places to live with a comprehensive welfare system that proves attractive to potential migrants from the 3rd world. Visitors compete to travel there - they don't compete for visitors<br /><br />That may be unpalatable to you as an educated man living legally in Australia. Nevertheless if it isn't true then, when the flood of holiday makers and economic migrants makes their way to India and China, I will review what, for the moment, seems to be the obvious reason of supply and demand.Taxpayernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727226025187579533.post-52153995002321769322014-11-25T06:59:03.275+13:002014-11-25T06:59:03.275+13:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727226025187579533.post-77277462479821566472014-11-25T00:56:32.361+13:002014-11-25T00:56:32.361+13:00If Australia and NZ are real friends of Fiji why c...If Australia and NZ are real friends of Fiji why cant they grant Fiji citizens 'visa on arrival' status that both India and China have recently done?Bill Wadely aka 'Vili the Kid'noreply@blogger.com
