Not only does it attempt to inform visitors on the main sights and scenic spots they should expect to see, but it also tries to provide and familiarize them with some general perspective of Tonga's place in our world at large. Thus this booklet is written with an integrated outlook on many aspects of life in Tonga past, present and future, pertaining to things visitors would see in general"--Preface.
