Which nations will enjoy the New Year 2022 first?
This new year 2022 is getting closer for many, while others are already celebrating it.
Countless people hope to say goodbye to 2021 in the company of their family or colleagues to start the following year in the most ideal way.
Around the world, some venues will have the opportunity to praise this occasion first, while others will be the last to do so.
To understand why the New Year comes first in certain countries, you need to know what the 24 time zones are.
These are zones that are ordered by a similar time on planet Earth. This is the reason why the New Year begins on several occasions in each of them.
The Republic of Kiribati is the first country to receive the New Year 2022, it is located in the upper eastern part of Australia. It is made up of 33 atolls and islands, and has a population of 115,847 citizens.
It has two official languages: Ghibelline and English. Meanwhile, the Western Samoan space is dominated by English and Samoan, and is described as having the world's first time region.
This is paradise for all those who love fishing and diving, as it has tidal pools, forests and a vivid coral reef.
The second country to enjoy this celebration is New Zealand. The inhabitants of Chatham Island, which is 680 kilometers from the fundamental islands, will say goodbye to 2021 much earlier than other nations. Those who follow him on this new year's holiday are Fiji and Tonga.
