The CEO of Fiji Hotels and Tourism Association, Fantasha Lockington says they are delighted the Government has delivered by providing relief for both import and excise duties and tax surcharge.
Lockington says these will altogether reduce their overhead costs and allow them to create attractive packages which will in turn allow them to offer real value for money.
She adds when Fiji’s borders open, it will make Fiji far more competitive.

Lockington says it’s great that the tourism industry is being recognised that it uses local entertainers and now they can get some incentive.
A 150% tax deduction is being offered to hotels and restaurants that use local entertainers.
Lockington says this is like icing on the cake as they had not expected that.
