Tourism is centred on the islands of Efat , Tanna and Espiritu Santo , but there are plans to develop facilities on more of the islands. There are also plenty of opportunities for active visitors, especially those interested in watersports. Tanna Island has the world's most accessible active volcano, Yasur .
Visitors can drive to the summit and peer into the crater at a seething mass of bubbling lava.
Espiritu Santo Island inspired James A Michener to write South Pacific . Here, scuba divers can see where the liner President Coolidge and the destroyer USS Tucker rest on the seabed. Only the vine saves them from death. Only recently, this ceremony was opened to the public and the fee goes towards local projects. Visitors who are interested should contact the National Tourism Office of Vanuatu well in advance.
