There will be job opportunities for the people of Labasa after the President of the Labasa Chamber of Commerce, Vinesh Dayal has confirmed that works on a major commercial development will begin soon in Labasa Town.

Dayal says the $10 million hotel project will also lay the foundation for tourism opportunities in Labasa Town and is a joint venture between landowners and a local investor.

He says the proposed project is one of the most anticipated partnerships for Yavusa o Matasawa, which was ignored for the past 13 years, and today it is supported by the Turaga na Tui Labasa, Ratu Jone Qomate and other landowners.

The President says the game is changing, and so are the people and businesses in Labasa Town.

Dayal says gone are those days of hatred, jealousy, and greed, and also the days of looking at young businesses and generation businesses.

He adds today, they need to ensure that all businesses and projects are supported by agents and authorities, and no one should subordinate a project only because of competition.

The eco-hotel development project will be a joint venture between the Vualiku Hotel and the Yavusa o Matasawa.

Work on phase 1 of the project will begin soon.
