The Ministry of Tourism has been working with relevant agencies and stakeholders to address the issue of public facilities in Natadola.
Minister Faiyaz Koya says they want to address this issue especially during the peak season when the resort properties are not able to cater for additional visitors.
He says in this regard, a consortium has been formed between the Ministry of Lands, Tourism operators, Fiji Police Force and the community in the area to look at the construction of a community police post, public utilities, as well as bure facilities that will enable local communities to engage in income generating activities.
Koya adds the communities utilizing the facilities will work with the neighbouring tourism operators to maintain these facilities.
