Tuvalu islands sit on South Pacific and collectively, these small islands make one of the smallest countries in the world. The various islands making Tuvalu include Funafuti which is the capital and home to more than half of the entire population on the island. Other islands include Nanumanga, Niulakita, Nanumea, Niui, Niutao and Vaitupu and a few others.
Fongafale is one of the well developed cities in Tuvalu. Tuvalu has an international airport in Funafuti which acts as the main gateway to Tuvalu. Funafuti has the only main road in Tuvalu and the runway at the airport is used as a recreational centre by locals and visitors when there are no scheduled landings. Exploring the island is best done using a motorbike and you can only access the other islands using a boat. The main business and government language in Tuvalu is English but Tuvaluan is also widely spoken as well alongside Kiribati and Samoan even though they are not the official languages. Tuvalu has a tropical climate that is largely influenced by the East trade winds which bring with them heavy rains. Fortunately, Tuvalu is safe from natural phenomena but adverse sea level changes are common in the islands with low level. Tuvalu is not such a great destination to boast about more so for tourists looking for spectacular sights. This is largely attributed to the small size of island land and it is neither an architectural heritage nor a city destination.
