He noted that such investments signal a positive outlook for Fiji’s tourism sector, attracting interest from both local and international investors.
Hill emphasized that these investments generate job opportunities and bolster growth in related industries, underscoring the confidence that investors have in Fiji’s tourism potential. Goundar mentioned that the resort is fully booked for September and expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming event, ‘Tourism Share: A Collaborative Evening.’
