Marshall Islands - Tourism, travel, and recreation



Tourist attractions include the sandy beaches on the atolls, protected lagoons, underwater coral reefs, and abundant marine life, including large gamefish. The outer atolls of Mili, Maloelap, Wotje, and Jaluit offer many Japanese and American relics from World War II. However, tourism remains undeveloped, and the outer atolls do not have any accommodations for visitors.

In 2000 there were 5,246 tourist arrivals and tourism receipts totaled $4 million. That year there were 305 hotel rooms and a total of 665 bed-places.

In 2001, the US Department of State estimated the cost of staying in Majuro at $175 per day.
