3. WWII Tourism

Tourists began flocking to the island for a very peculiar reason, one that is quite different than most other places on the globe. Instead of coming to Papua New Guinea for its beautiful beaches or interesting culture, visitors came to see what was leftover from WWII.

Thousands of history fans came to the island every year to explore the wreckage and remains of the huge war. These tourists love to adventure around the American, Australian, and Japanese bases.  For many years now, Papua New Guinea has been a popular place for people to hunt for lost relics of the war, and yet, once the Royal Australian Air Force noticed something strange in the swamp in 1972, two men would set out for a wild adventure that they would never forget.
