World Tourism Day

- Neelz Singh, Lami

Every time we travel, for whatever reason, we are part of a global movement. This is a movement that has the power to drive inclusive developmen­t, create jobs and build the sustainabl­e societies we want for our future; a movement that builds mutual understand­ing and can help us safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage.

This year on September 27 we want you to talk tourism.

Help us raise awareness of the important impact tourism has on countries and communitie­s around the world and its potential as a force for good, creating a better world for all.

The purpose of World Tourism Day is to foster awareness among the internatio­nal community about the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.

The tourism industry in Fiji has been booming over the past decade has grown at an annual rate of 10 per cent to 12 per cent. The expansion of tourism, which generates more expenditur­e in the economy, is likely to have implicatio­ns for other industries.

Travellers are seeking adventure and want to explore local island lifestyles. Our country has a lot of offer.

Wishing all the best on World Tourism Day to all tourists and people behind the scenes who work towards one common goal to make Fiji the world’s best holiday destinatio­n.

Bula to all and vinaka for choosing Fiji as your holiday destinatio­n.
