A $100 million five star resort at Nawi Island in Savusavu will create more than four hundred job opportunities which is scheduled to be completed within the next two years.

Project Manager Paul McDonnell says this project will give opportunity to local people to increase their trade skills and enhance their knowledge.

McDonnell says the marina will be a world class facility where large yacht services will be provided to yacht owners and crew.

He adds the construction on marina is expected to be operational in another nine months.

He says more than four hundred yachts visit the shores of Savusavu every year.

The project manager stresses that some of the biggest challenges that they face in meeting their daily deadlines are road conditions, lack of power supply, water and weather.

The project will include 150 beds, 27 sweep yacht walls and a 6 kilometer sweeping way from Savusavu Town.

McDonnell stresses there will be similar tourist movement in the Northern Division as in other parts of Fiji.
