Nadi’s Sunset Strip is under consideration for a transformative billion-dollar tourism development project, a move supported by Chinese investors. Brent Hill, the CEO of Tourism Fiji, has praised this initiative as an “outstanding” vision for the region. The proposed Nadi Town Resort, strategically located near Wailoaloa and the airport, aims to enhance access to waterfront experiences for visitors planning to explore the outer islands.
Hill commended SGV Pacific Properties Group for their efforts. He believes that placing this project in an already developed area, which has previously benefited from significant infrastructure, is a sensible decision. This approach not only streamlines the development process but also aligns with efforts to maintain Fiji’s sustainability and image as a premier tourist destination.
The multi-phase development is anticipated to provide over 900 accommodations spread across 49 acres, an essential addition in light of the increasing demand for housing and lodging in Nadi amid rising living costs. As Hill pointed out, many residents are grappling with high rent prices, and this project may help alleviate some of that pressure by increasing the availability of residential options and shopping facilities, which are currently limited.
The interest from Chinese tourists is expanding, and the development will likely cater not only to this demographic but also to traditional markets from Australia and New Zealand. As a result, this initiative represents a significant opportunity for economic growth and enhanced tourism experiences in Fiji.
This ambitious project reflects a broader trend toward sustainable tourism development that balances infrastructure growth with community needs, promising a brighter future for both residents and visitors alike.
