Why is travel to Tahiti so expensive?

When it comes to island travel, you can think of many places, such as the Maldives, Phuket, Bali, etc. You should hear about them often, but there is also a great island called Tahiti. This place is more expensive than other places.

Celebrity resort.

Tahiti is a place where Hollywood stars and American high society gather for vacation. Because of the price, those who vacation here are high-status people. In order to ensure the privacy and satisfaction of tourists and protect the sustainable development of the local tourism industry, the local government imposes restrictions on tourists every year and also restricts the entry of drones. Drones are not allowed in any Tahiti hotels. If you want to write the application form in advance and someone stops you in a hotel or public place, you must stop using it.

French territory with developed economy.

Many friends who travel to other islands may feel that these island countries are underdeveloped, but Tahiti does not feel this way at all. The roads around Tahiti Airport, the neatly arranged flower beds, and the cars everywhere will tell you that this place is different from the island countries you have been to before.

In Tahiti, no matter what nationality you are, as long as you live in France for a long time, you can enjoy the same treatment as the French. For example, after pregnancy, there will be prenatal training specifically for new parents. Delivery and postpartum recovery are free. The government's maternity benefit is 120,000 francs a time and 7,000 francs a month after delivery until the child reaches 18 years old. Moreover, it is free for children to study medicine. Therefore, the locals in Tahiti have a high sense of happiness. Just go and see it and you will know.

The ticket prices are high.

Currently there is no direct domestic route to Tahiti. A more convenient route is to transfer from Tokyo. The air ticket from Tokyo to Tahiti is generally around 9,800 yuan, and the domestic round-trip price from Tokyo is around 3,000 yuan. The air ticket cost alone is close to 13,000 yuan. And it’s a lower price for economy class. If it is peak season, the price will only be higher if the air ticket is still Economy Class.

Hotel resources are scarce

Compared to other islands, there are not many hotels in Tahiti, and even fewer brand hotels. Therefore, hotels in Tahiti are not as competitive as hotels in the Maldives. Hotels here don’t have to worry about selling, so they generally don’t offer discounts.

Hotels like the Maldives offer huge discounts, but the cost of the hotel will also be reduced and the customer experience will be worse. And because of the price of the hotel, the level of guests in the hotel also varies. This is not the case in Tahiti. The overall feeling is that Dave is better than Mal. The service, restaurants and public facilities here will make you feel very comfortable.

In islands such as Phuket and Koh Samui, dining is more convenient because the consumption is in Thai baht or Indonesian rupiah, so the RMB conversion is not very high. In hotels such as the Maldives and Mauritius, breakfast and dinner are generally included. Or all-inclusive, so the expenditure on food and beverages is not very high. However, hotels in Tahiti only include breakfast, so guests going to Tahiti spend a lot on meals.
