Fiji Tourist Trap Tips by megraham

Suva was definitly a 'tourist trap'. I felt it was a function of there not being enough work in a society and people were hustling to make a living. An example would be two or three young men would approach, act friendly, give some local craft to your children, and then pressure you for money. The trick here was to crave something into the item before you could react, and the price then requested was 5 to 10 times that of the craft stalls. In retrospect, I would say this is one of the more low key hustles, just be advised if you are traveling with children.
