Palau is a country rich in tradition and culture.

Palau offers the traveller a wide variety of hotel accommodations, from full service, luxury resorts and moderately priced bungalows, to economical motels and bungalows modelled on traditional architectural styles.

While many of Palaus guests prefer to stay in the town of Koror, where most resorts and motels are located, some prefer the more private and secluded bungalows of the northern and southern islands.

Whether price, comfort, or lifestyles are your considerations, Palaus natural beauty ensures a pleasant experience and memorable stay.

While much of Palaus natural environment remains free of environmental degradation, there are several areas of concern, including illegal fishing with the use of dynamite, inadequate facilities for disposal of solid waste in Koror, and extensive sand and coral dredging in the Palau lagoon.

Like the other Pacific island nations, a major environmental threat is global warming and the related rising of sea level.

Water coverage of low lying areas is a threat to coastal vegetation, agriculture, and the purity of the nations water supply. It also has a problem with inadequate water supply and limited agricultural areas to support the size of the population.

The nation is also vulnerable to earthquakes, volcanic activity, and tropical storms. Sewage treatment is a problem, along with the handling of toxic waste from fertilizers and biocides.
