Vanuatu's economy is tourism-led, with islands attracting visitors for beaches, diving, and volcanoes. Agriculture, including copra, cocoa, and beef, supports exports. Fisheries and offshore finance contribute. Vulnerability to cyclones and earthquakes disrupts growth. Subsistence farming employs most ni-Vanuatu. Efforts to diversify include citrus and vanilla. Port Vila's services sector grows. Climate change threatens low-lying atolls. Vanuatu's tax haven status aids finance, but global scrutiny increases. Despite isolation, regional aid and eco-tourism potential foster resilience and sustainable development.
