The Origin of Denarau: A First-Class Destination in the Fiji Islands

By Dennis A. McElrath

How an Uninhabited Island Became the Top Tourist Destination in the Fiji Islands
When Dennis McElrath landed in the Fiji Islands during an accidental stopover in 1969, he had no idea how it would positively impact his life and the lives of millions of Fijians and tourists worldwide. He discovered an uninhabited, boomerang-shaped island called Denarau next to a mosquito swamp. McElrath saw the island's potential to attract visitors to its pristine beaches, colorful coral reefs, and world-class deep-sea fishing.

He lived in Fiji for the next 28 years as a key player in the country's tourism industry. The Origin of Denarau is the true story of how McElrath developed Denarau Island, and later Vomo Island, into first-class recreational destinations.

Yes, Fiji ... the way the world should be.
