is photograph (by Stinson) is seen the oint of one of the most interesting nents of the South Pacific tourist hotel in recent years. is the interior of the famous Big hich was added this year to the Koro iach Hotel, now a well-known holiday jn the southwest coast of Viti Levu, ;vu is the conception of Sir Hugh Ragg, of Northern Hotels, Ltd., which now nd operates a string of good hotels ic south coast of Viti Levu, 65 miles Suva, in the borderline country be the heavy jungle of the wet zone, bare hills of the dry sugar areas, there ies of lovely bays and beaches, cooled always by the southeast breezes, ago, Sir Hugh Ragg acquired one of caches, and there, since 1950, in a grove beside the sea, he has built a hotel. It consists of central reception ing rooms, conducted in modern style, long line of 25 independent bures (or aterial houses) each equipped as a t, with electric light and refrigeration,

i and lavatory.

s central amenities there now has been

added a gigantic bure, 100 feet long, with ample lounges, dancing-fioor, and a bar across one end —all planned as a recreational room.

It is right on the edge of the beach, within

a few yards of the softly-breaking waves.

Holidaymakers can relax in their own bures, under the palms, or in this huge new structure, which has been most tastefully finished and

decorated with native materials, and native art.

In the foreground are seen (right) Sir Hugh Ragg; and, with him, his daughter and son in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Clark, who have shared with him the major job of creating this attractive tropical hotel on the hitherto wild but beautiful coastline, and building up its remarkable popularity as a holiday resort.

No traveller passes through the South Pacific Islands to-day without demanding at least a day or two at Korolevu Beach —and that was the way Hugh Ragg originally planned it.
