About Niue Island
Although Niue Island is one of the islands of New Zealand, it is 2400 kilometers from the mainland. Located between the island countries like Samoa, Cook Islands and Tonga, and having a population of around 2000, Niue is also one of the rare regions with autonomous governance in New Zealand. There is a coral reef of 269 square kilometers in Niue, within the group of islands called Polynesian islands. Accepted as one of the world's largest coral islands, Niue Island reaches 60 meters in height from the sea. Tourism is one of the most important trade activities in this area, which attracts tourists and tourism investors. In addition to the beaches, Niue offers a convenient sailing and diving center in the Pacific. Here many conveniences are offered to the investors, including tax reductions, to stimulate tourism.
In addition to tourism, fishing and agriculture, the major income sources of the island are the domains ending with ".nu". Thanks to the income received from the .nu, which is one of the most demanded domains in the world, internet usage in the island is provided at a rate, which can almost be considered as free. Because it is far from the center, airline is used in transportation. Two flights in a week from New Zealand are organized to Niue Airport, which is also known as the Hanan International Airport. The airport is 3.5 kilometers away from Alofi, the capital of the island.
