The Territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands is a French island collectivity in the South Pacific Ocean, with Fiji to the west, the Samoan islands to the east, and Tonga to the southeast. The population is about 15,000 people (July 2017).
It is thought that the first settlers arrived on the islands over 2,000 years ago. The Dutch discovered the Futuna islands in 1616, and the British discovered Wallis in 1767. The French declared a protectorate over the islands in 1842 and took official control between 1886 and 1888. The government is a parliamentary democracy with the French president as chief of state, represented by a high administrator. The head of government is a president of the territorial assembly.
During World War II, American troops arrived, and Wallis became an important American military base with as many as 6,000 troops based there. In 1959, the citizens voted in a referendum to become an overseas territory, which the French Parliament granted in 1961. This designation was changed to “overseas community” in 2007.
There is very little tourism on the islands. Futuna has no tourist infrastructure. A visitor to Wallis could enjoy quiet villages, lagoons, and ruins of a fortified Tongan settlement dating to 1450 AD.

Wallis & Futuna中的安全性
人身安全
瓦利斯和富圖納群島全境犯罪率較低。雖然偶爾會發生小偷小摸和街頭犯罪，但頻率不高。島上設有兩個憲兵站，約有二十名憲兵提供保全。包括海灘在內的偏遠地區在天黑後風險較高，使用ATM提款也需謹慎。該地區人口稀少，社區監督有力，因此環境整體安全。暴力犯罪仍然罕見，但您仍應妥善保管貴重物品。雖然設有緊急服務，但由於地處偏遠，其資源有限。醫療設施包括兩所醫院和三所診所，但與規模較大的國家相比，其醫療能力有限。
極端暴力
瓦利斯和富圖納群島基本上沒有極端暴力事件。該地區近期沒有恐怖主義或有組織暴力犯罪的歷史。法國海外領地透過憲兵駐紮和傳統的權力結構維持穩定的安全。三個傳統王國遵循法國法律，由傳統領導人處理地方糾紛。不存在武裝衝突、幫派活動或綁架風險。約1.1萬居民保持和平的社會關係。該地區與世隔絕的地理位置和緊密的社區結構使得該地區沒有嚴重的暴力犯罪。
政治動盪
瓦利斯和富圖納群島政治穩定。該領土作為法國海外領地，三個傳統君主制國家在法國法律下共存。領土議會由20名民選議員組成，負責社會和經濟事務。首都馬塔烏圖偶爾會發生抗議和示威活動，但內亂仍然罕見。儘管關於領土自治的討論仍在繼續，但民眾對脫離法國獨立的興趣不大。歷史上，政治緊張局勢一直集中在敵對的貴族家族支持相互競爭的國王，尤其是在瓦利斯島，這導致了自2000年代中期以來的移民潮。這些內部政治動態很少影響遊客。
應避免的區域
該地區沒有需要避開的特定高風險區域。由於保全力量有限，天黑後在偏僻的海灘和偏遠地區需要謹慎。兩個主要島嶼總體上都保持著安全的環境。富圖納群島沒有潟湖，這使得其海岸線周圍的海洋條件更具挑戰性。無人居住的阿洛菲島擁有原始的自然風光，但缺乏基礎設施和緊急服務。在11月至4月的氣旋季節，低窪的沿海地區面臨暴雨和風暴潮帶來的洪災風險。瓦利斯群島的一些村莊仍然受到2012年氣旋埃文的破壞。醫療設施集中在主要人口中心，使得外圍地區難以獲得緊急救治。
