Consumer confidence in travel is currently really low - Tourism Fiji

Tourism Fiji says consumer confidence in travel is currently really low and for that reason, they are focused on removing this uncertainty for those considering a holiday to Fiji.

It says to do this the national carrier, Fiji Airways, along with their hotel partners and ground operators are offering flexible and relaxed booking policies, removing change fees to restore confidence in travel to Fiji.

Tourism Fiji says one event they have received a lot of enquiries about is understandably the Fijian Tourism Expo.

It says it is a signature trade event for Fiji and they are optimistic they can still deliver a great event to bring together buyers and sellers at this important time.

They are monitoring the situation closely and will be giving regular updates in the lead-up to the event.

With COVID-19, Tourism Fiji says the situation changes on a daily basis and they continue to navigate a path through this global disruption the best they can.

It says their strategies are changing alongside the situation.

Tourism Fiji says their regular consultations with the Ministry of Industry Trade and Tourism, the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, SOFTA, Fiji Airways and FHTA have been invaluable for this.
