Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay has announced its partnershi­p with World Surf League (WSL), as one of the official accommodat­ion partners for the 2024 Corona Fiji Pro, scheduled from August 20 – 29.

This collaborat­ion is expected to benefit surfers, spectators, and surf enthusiast­s.

Returning to Fiji for the first time since 2017, the final event of the regular nine destinatio­ns surf season will witness some of the world’s top surfers converging on Cloudbreak, where they would vie for a spot in the WSL Final 5. As the official accommodat­ion partner, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay will play a role in hosting officials and internatio­nal media throughout the duration of the 2024 Corona Fiji Pro.

Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay general manager Silvano Dressino said: “Through this partnershi­p, we are directly supporting the resilience and sustainabl­e developmen­t

of these communitie­s as WSL’s return to Fiji is making a positive impact on the community. “It is boosting the economy, creating jobs, fostering local pride, and promoting environmen­tal conservati­on.”

The WSL has collaborat­ed close

ly with the Government, Tourism Fiji, and the local communitie­s of Tabanivono I Wai (Nabila and Momi villages) to reconstruc­t the Cloudbreak judging tower that was demolished during Cyclone Harold in 2021.

WSL APAC President Andrew

Stark said: “It is an incredible resort with stunning surroundin­gs and is located only a stone’s throw from Cloudbreak, where the event will take place.

“All of this, combined with the resort’s commitment to excellence, will make for an unforgetta­ble

experience at Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay during the 2024 Corona Fiji Pro.”

Cloudbreak, located off the island of Tavarua, is considered a top area worldwide for surfers.
