Fiji is off to a flyer!

NEW Fiji Airways direct flights between Sydney and Suva in Fiji (TD 28 Jun) will present further tourism opportunities in the country’s north, Tourism Fiji CEO Brent Hill believes.

Speaking with Travel Daily this morning, Hill said that while the new flights will predominantly fulfil the travel ambitions for the VFR and business travel markets, other leisure travel segments will also be a beneficiary.

“We’re excited about the tourism angle as Suva is a wonderful way to connect into the North to places like Savusavu and Vanua Levu and the outer islands,” Hill said.

“Coupled with the new route into Adelaide, it’s really exciting.

“The main resort opportunities are into Suva and then down to Pacific Harbour area, so Royal Davui, Nanuku and the Pearl are the main resorts there, and linking to flights out to Savusavu,” Hill added.
