Newly appointed Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association CEO Fantasha Lockington is focussed on taking a more active approach on sustainable tourism practices and environment protection initiatives.
She has highlighted her plans to connect with local communities for inclusivity that would benefit farmers, fisherman, villagers and resource owners.
Lockington says members of the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association have indicated their need to have more lobbying with government and communities to more effectively bring their concerns and experiences to the fore.
She says she would like to see the association be more proactive in marketing and research, Human resource development, safe practice programs and building better partnerships.
