The Cooks' nearest neighbours are Tahiti to the east and American Samoa to the west, each roughly 1500km (930 miles) away. The Cook Islands are spread across some 2 million square km ( 772,200 sq mi) of sea, an aera as large as Western ranks behind Rarotonga in the visitor contest, and it lacks the sheer physical beauty of its larger neighbour, but it has charms all its own. For a start, it sits at one corner of a triangular lagoon dotted with lovely motu (small islands).

The people in the Cook Islands are open and naturally friendly. Their hospitality is warm and spontaneous, the dancing exuberant and the mood relaxed. Cook Islanders share a genuine concern for others and their old culture lives on through song, dance, legends and an easy pace to life reflecting the nature of the islands in which they live The current population in the Cook Islands is estimated at 17,000 people,
