British Indian Ocean Territory

The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom situated in the Indian Ocean halfway between Tanzania and Indonesia. The territory comprises the seven atolls of the Chagos Archipelago with over 1,000 individual islands – many very small – amounting to a total land area of 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi).

It is one of only two British territories that drives automobiles on the right side of the road, the other being Gibraltar. This has been said to be because the territory was previously occupied by the French, but France ceded the islands to the UK long before the invention of the automobile.

This tropical paradise of beautiful beaches, it is renowned for its stunning sunsets, breathtaking scenery, awesome surf, and pristine rain forests.

Dawn books quite a bit of our travel and is doing an AMAZING job. I have done a significant amount of travel over the years and I wanted to let you know that Dawn has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is prompt, accurate (in a business where 95% is not good enough :), friendly, professional. She continually goes above and beyond. She is hands down the best travel agent that I have had the pleasure to work with. Just wanted to pass that along.
