The tourist industry is relatively undeveloped; however, the government
recognizes that tourism can play a major role in economic development,
and efforts are being made to increase this source of revenue. Cruise
ships often stop in Nuku'alofa and Vava'u.
Tonga's development plans emphasize a growing private sector, upgrading
agricultural productivity, revitalizing the squash and vanilla bean
industries, developing tourism, and improving the island's communications
and transportation systems. Substantial progress has been made, but much
work remains to be done. A small but growing construction sector is
developing in response to the inflow of aid monies and remittances from
Tongans abroad.
