what’s in it for Resorts, bars and restaurants

Resorts, bars and restaurants will see a massive reduction in excise taxes on alcohol.

“Fifty per cent reduction that will allow our hotels, resorts, bars and restaurants to pass on those savings directly to consumers.

“Market Survey has shown that Fijian resorts and hotels can be overpriced, especially when it comes to food and beverage services. As an immediate effect of these tax cuts, we expect the price structures for rooms, food, alcohol –– basically everything –– to drop precipitously.

“And tourism operators should consider making these changes to their cost structure permanent. So, as Fiji looks to safely reopen to tourists, our hospitality industry can even get creative with all-inclusive options that allow us to be cost-competitive with destinations like Bali and Phuket, when they open for businesses, they will do so with a vengeance!”
