Fiji remains a highly sought-after destination for cruise ships, with the ports of Suva and Lautoka welcoming vessels from across the globe. Leigh Howard, Chief Operating Officer of Tourism Fiji, highlighted the vital role that the influx of cruise arrivals plays in bolstering the nation’s economy.
Howard stated that this influx not only contributes significantly to tourism revenue but also provides numerous opportunities for local businesses, ranging from tour operators to artisans. He expressed enthusiasm about the arrival of several ships and emphasized the ongoing efforts to collaborate with cruise lines to improve the overall visitor experience in Fiji.
The appeal of Fiji as a cruise destination is on the rise, with growing interest from both traditional cruise liners and expedition vessels, especially those focused on niche markets such as adventure and eco-tourism. This trend aligns seamlessly with Fiji’s broader tourism strategy. Howard noted that Fiji offers unique experiences for cruise passengers exploring the islands, aiming to provide exceptional service and unforgettable memories for all visitors.
The consistent flow of cruise ships to Fiji showcases the increasing allure of the islands as a leading travel destination in the South Pacific.
