Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism Bill Gavoka

Fiji remains a safe and accessible destination for all to enjoy.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism Bill Gavoka has given this reassurance after a recent report by New Zealand's 1News report this week of a TV New Zealand investigation series on Fiji’s fight against illicit drugs.

Gavoka says it must be pointed out that there have been zero recorded instances of this issue impacting tourists, and with tourist numbers pointing to another record year of arrivals, Fiji remains safe and accessible.

The Deputy Prime Minister says the Coalition Government is aware of drug reports and has already been working with the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure that the Fiji Police Force and relevant agencies have the resources to combat the problem.
