The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism, Viliame Gavoka, has reassured both local and international tourists that the recent unfortunate incident at the Warrick Resort is an isolated case. Gavoka addressed the media, confirming that all seven affected guests have been taken to Aspen Lautoka Hospital for medical attention and ongoing investigation.
He noted that thorough investigations are underway to determine the cause of this incident, with support from the Ministry of Health and the Fiji Police Force. It is important to emphasize that this situation has affected only these guests in a specific bar at the resort, and no other incidents have been reported either at this location or anywhere else in Fiji.
Gavoka highlighted that the Warrick Resort has a longstanding reputation for quality service, particularly among Australian vacationers. The management of the resort is understandably distressed but fully cooperating with the authorities to ensure a swift resolution.
While the investigation continues, Gavoka urged the public not to jump to conclusions and to await the lab test results. He reassured everyone that Fiji is generally a safe destination for tourism and that they are taking immediate steps to understand and address this unusual occurrence.
This incident, while concerning, reflects the commitment of both the resort and government officials to prioritize the well-being of guests. As investigations play out, there is hope that the findings will reinforce the safety and enjoyment that Fiji is known for as a premier travel destination.
