Rosie Holidays Rebrands to Rosie Travel Group
Award-winning Rosie Holidays is undergoing rebranding to Rosie Travel Group.
This was confirmed in an interview with Rosie Travel Group managing director Tony Whitton yesterday.
Rosie Travel Group won the HFC Best Large Business Operating Internationally award during the Prime Minister’s International Business Awards ceremony on Saturday.
Mr Whitton said: “We did the re branding, so that’s slowly being rolled out in the next few months in terms of delivery, new logo and things we’ll be doing to refresh the brand.”
He said this was also done to keep up with the international visitor expectations in terms of professionalism and having good delivery.
“We are honoured to be able to receive this award on behalf of our colleagues in the tourism industry. “Both Rosie Holidays and Fiji Airways are very critical partners in the tourism economy but we realise we are placed in a very competitive market.
“So to actually have international visitors come into Fiji takes a lot of planning and marketing.”
