Fiji Spas of the Fiji Islands
Tropical Spas
The definition of a spa arises from a place with natural healing waters, such as mineral springs, hot springs and the like. Historically spas were often defined as a destination for those seeking cures for ailments, as the natural spa water was hailed for its therapeutic purposes. Most definitions seem to agree that a spa is where there is a natural water source - either for drinking or bathing - that has health-generating properties. As time went by, people came to appreciate the benefit of relaxation and viewed a spa as a place to rest, reflect, and regenerate the spirit.In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the growth of resort spas around the world. These are not necessarily locations of naturally occurring mineral springs, though some are, but as places where one may luxuriate in a relaxing environment, enjoy a massage, and be pampered. From facials to body and skin treatments, aromatherapy, scrubs and wraps, manicures and pedicures, saunas and dip pools, the guest can be sure to find a tropical spa retreat is a place to luxuriate.
Spas in the Fiji Islands
And what better place than in the tropical Fiji islands, where one can be surrounded by the warmth of a light tropical breeze, the scent of tropical flowers, the relaxing sound of the ocean gently caressing a sandy beach. It is no wonder that today the Fiji Spa is becoming more and more popular. From the large international style hotels, to the island resorts, it is now quite easy to find a Fiji Spa destination. Fiji has many naturally occurring water sources, and the clear spring water is being bottled and marketed world-wide, such as the well-known ' Fiji Water '.Fiji Spa Destinations for Honeymooners
Many of the Fiji Spa Resorts and Hotels offer special packages for couples who are either on their honeymoon or who are coming to Fiji for their wedding in this tropical paradise. Special facials and hair treatments for the big day, special Fiji Spa Product gift packs, or relaxing his and hers massages on the beach so that you may both enjoy a relaxing start to your new life together.Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Fiji Spa Resorts - Fiji Spa Services Directory - Fiji Spa Services - Fiji Islands - Luxury Spa Resorts in Fiji
Of all the world perhaps the South Pacific conjures up best the dream of beauty, romance and escape. These islands of the South Pacific invite us to float in their clear waters under an immense sky of blue, put on a mask and snorkel to discover a new world populated with colorful fish and beautiful reefs. Take a walk along white sand beaches, gaze at the stars, fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.
And now, Fiji has begun to offer spa, health, beauty and fitness services. As the resorts in Fiji offer these services we will be adding them to this page. Some resorts are creating a new area for their spa services with a menu of services to entice you. Others are beginning to incorporate spa services into their existing venue.

Airlines body bids farewell to paper tickets
Published August 27, 2007
GENEVA (Reuters) - The global airlines body IATA said on Monday it had placed its last order for paper tickets, clearing the way for air travel to be based entirely on electronic ticketing from June 1 next year.
"In just 278 more days, the paper ticket will become a collector's item," said Giovanni Bisignani, director general of the International Air Transport Association.The changeover from paper would not only cut airlines' costs by $9 for every traveller but would also mean the industry -- criticized by environmentalists for its part in global warming -- would save 50,000 mature trees a year, he added.Bisignani did not say whether the $9 in cost savings would or should be passed on to passengers.Based in Geneva, IATA represents more than 240 airlines which operate 94 percent of scheduled international flights.Non-IATA airlines, mainly low-cost carriers like the Irish Ryanair and the British Easyjet, already have a paper-free ticket system where travellers are registered in computers and present only an identity document at check-in.
IATA launched its drive for so called "e-ticketing" just over three years ago and now 84 percent of travellers on IATA carriers fly without paper tickets.
The airlines body says China, one of the fastest-growing markets for air travel and host to next year's Olympic Games, is heading to be the first country in the world to operate an entirely paper-free ticketing system by the end of this year.
