Tourism Fiji has been nominated for the World Culinary Awards 2022 under the category: Oceania’s Best Culinary Destinatio­n 2022 - Fiji.

Tourism Fiji chief executive officer Brent Hill said this was a testament to what Fiji could do and achieve.

“We all know Fiji has some amazing, delicious food across the many cultures that make up modern day Fiji, due in large part to the fresh produce we can get access to in Fiji.”

Over the last few days, Justin has been posting stories and sharing his foodie journey through Fiji with his 116,000 followers on Instagram and thousands more on Facebook.
