Last week I drove down to Houston for a day to attend a Tahiti Tourisme workshop I was invited to. I was excited to go and learn the new updates on what is taking place in such a beautiful area, but I will admit that attending a workshop at the Marriott in the Galleria is nice, but doesn’t quite have the same pleasure as being in an overwater bungalow on Bora Bora, but for last week, it was the best I could do.
In 5 years, I have only had about 4 couples who have honeymooned in Tahiti, due to the expense and long flight from LA, but with the economy like it is, I was amazed to learn how good the rates are now not only for the limited resorts there, but also on the air.
Many people ask me, what are some unique things you can tell me about Tahiti and her islands, so I can look forward to going one day, in case it doesn’t work out for the honeymoon. Well, after attending the updated workshop, here are a few interesting points about Tahiti I think some will find exciting:
1. Tahiti has the same number of tourist in a year that Hawaii gets every 12 days
2. There are less hotel rooms in the French Polynesia than that of just the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
3. An overwater bungalow offers visibility in the water up to 150 feet
4. Approximately 80 degrees all year
5. November -March is Summertime “Low Season”
6. April -October is Wintertime “High Season”
7. Tahiti is the same time zone as Hawaii
8. The languages for the islands are French, Tahitian and English
9. Weddings in the islands of Tahiti are now legally binding for non-French nationals
10. Last but not least, if you stay in overwater bungalow, you can have breakfast delivered to your room by a canoe.
