1. Hardly any other tourists
2. Friendly people
3. Good infrastructure (everything has recovered from the "troubles", I understand)
4. Beautiful beaches and islands once you get away from Tongatapu/Nuku'alofa.
5. Not too hard to get around.
6. Not too expensive.

| copperspoon09:46 UTC25 May 2007 | #2-Please Note-the respondents OP & #1 are both experienced South Pacific travellers-Tonga is nice enough but ain't no paradise.
Yes people are friendly but infrastructure is shaky, transport is chaotic and food outside of tourist tracks is often poor.
I like the place but to my mind it's no place for neophyte travelers.

| harry_mudd10:05 UTC25 May 2007 | agree with Copperspoon.
I don't see Tonga as ideal for a "South Pacific Experience" holiday spot.
However, I have traveled a lot, and "lived" in many cultures. I just felt very comfortable in Tonga.
