Executive summary
European and US tourists a real boon to the industry
Although travellers from Australia and New Zealand have been contributing to travel and tourism in Fiji, an increasing number of tourists from the United States and Europe are also visiting the country to experience its culture as well as its natural and secluded environment. These visitors are not concerned about the ongoing political problem in Fiji and their governments have not made a fuss about it. They are also cash-rich and are willing to spend on tours and quality accommodation. Different sectors in the travel and tourism industry are keen on attracting more visitors from these countries.
Fiji’s secluded paradise image growing
Fiji’s secluded islands, beaches and resorts are among the most sought after holiday destinations amongst international tourists. International visitors see Fiji as a place where they can escape from the modern world and where they can be free and relaxed. Remote islands that are predominantly uninhabited are seen as ideal places for relaxation. Tourism operators welcome this trend because to them Fiji is a secluded paradise that should be seen in this way by others.
Independent hotels lose market share to internationally branded chains
Independent hotel and resort operators in Fiji are starting to feel the competition posed by newly built, internationally branded chains. Tax concessions given to the latter have allowed them to charge rates up to half of those offered by established operators.
Competition causes airline ticket prices to drop
Competition between Air Fiji and Pacific Sun led to a drop in airfares in early 2008, making it more affordable for locals to travel between islands by plane. However, due to a surge in oil prices, these low airfares are no longer sustainable. The airlines are now lobbying for the government to allow them to raise their fares.
Adventure tours growing in popularity
There has been increasing interest among visitors to Fiji in engaging in unique activities and experiences. Adventure tours that offer visitors an opportunity to explore the natural environment and to experience and learn about a different culture are increasing in number and variety. Diving and hiking tours offered by the villages are among those activities that are growing in popularity.
