A new study, ""The Socio-Economic Value of the Shark-Diving Industry in Fiji,"" found that overall tourism activities in 2010 generated US$558 million, approximately 18 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), and that one in 10 tourists engaged in diving activities. In particular, diving with sharks has become more popular over the past several years; in fact one dive operator in Pacific Harbour reported the number of divers increased more than 300 percent, from 700 in 2004 to 3,000 in 2010.
