Minister for Local Government Premila Kumar has urged Fijians in Levuka to download the careFIJI app to help revive the tourism industry.

Kumar says it is a $2 billion industry. Kumar says that is how good Fiji’s tourism sector was and now we have lost our $2 billion industry.

She adds that the budget focused on economic recovery for not only recovery of the businesses, but for workers and those who have been affected by COVID-19.

Kumar further says that Levuka Town Council has an important role to fulfill, as the main governing institution, in assisting ordinary Fijians and businesses.

She added that as the council is governing the municipality, they have a really important role because there aren’t many Government institutions based in Levuka.
