[@LifeWithBrad]

The economy there is mainly on tourism. But there are different jobs there. Keep in mind that the minimum wage is $3 USD per hour. It might be $2.50 per hour. Those working in the tourism industry can make more. Is there a profession you are looking for?

[@sebastiaanbax5903]

Hello good sir, Me and my girlfriend are looking to live in Palau. I am currently busy getting my padi master scuba diver trainer certificate so i can give diving tours and lessons. Next to that i would love to do underwater photography. I myself have a dutch nationality (Netherlands) and my girlfriend has a Polish one. My girlfriend is a dentist assistent and will be a dental hygienist in the near future. Do we have a chance to realise this dream of starting a new life and family on this beautiful island?

[@LifeWithBrad]

Hi and hello. I am not qualified to give any financial or investment advices in doing business in Palau. There are a few entrepreneurs that started their own dive shops. The market in Palau are mostly tourists from the nearby Asian countries. There are American and European divers, but it is expensive to travel to Palau. If you have a dedicated line of customers from around the world, you shouldn't have a problem in Palau. Otherwise, you will have to hire divers that can speak Japanese, Mandarin, or Korean. In 2008, there were 30,000 Japanese that visited Palau vs 3000 Europeans. Look up statistics before anything. I must say that Palau is a beautiful place to go diving. There are a lot of places to go like the Blue Corner or German Channel. If you do have the opportunity to visit other islands in Palau, I would suggest Kayangel and Helens Reef. As for your girlfriend, it would be great to have more dentists in Palau. Good luck you.

[@karinwaters2020]

How do you feel about the massive wave of tourists coming to palau? Is it effecting the environment and the coral reef in anyway? I know jellyfish lake was affected from all the sunscreen products people were using, but that's what I've heard by word. Is tourist helping palau grow? And how about now? Is covid hurting Palaus tourist industry? How is the environment doing? When will bans be lifted to travel to palau again? Just found you and already the biggest fan of your channel!

[@LifeWithBrad]

Wow! Thanks for the comment. Where to begin? Tourism has been growing in Palau. It is the economic factor that Palau depends on the most. As a child, I used to go fishing with my Dad and we would sell the fishes to the hotels. Goes to show how much of an impact it has had over the years. Covid-19 has pretty much shut the tourism industry since March 2020. There has been no flights in or out of the country, except for the few expatriate flights. Of course we know the less human interaction the better it is for the environment. So once tourists start pouring in, and no one knows when that will happen, there will be a lot of harm done to the Palau environment. Of course the government is trying to minimize that. I'm not sure if you have seen the video on KZbin about how a jellyfish from the Jellyfish Lake was illegally exported out of Palau and was being sold on a street market.

I have been living in the United States for over 20 years. My English has improved a lot. Some Palauans living in Palau have better English than I do, but most speak English well enough.
