Thio is a commune in the South Province of New Caledonia, a French overseas territory, located on the east coast of Grande Terre, about 200 kilometers from the capital Nouméa, and known as the "Nickel City" for its rich nickel deposits. It is located in a tropical maritime climate zone, warm and humid all year round, with a unique landscape of coral reefs and black sand beaches along the coast, making it a potential destination for eco-tourism. The local economy is centered on nickel mining, supplemented by agriculture and fishing, while retaining a strong Melanesian Aboriginal culture, with traditional dances, crafts, and festivals showcasing a multicultural fusion. Although mining was once the mainstay of the industry, Tuau is gradually exploring sustainable ecotourism paths that will attract travelers interested in natural and cultural exploration.
