Despite the current global coronaviru­s situation and its impacts on supplier delivery timeline, the transforma­tion of Sheraton Fiji Resort is well underway.

Centered around the concept of community, the lobby environmen­t has been reinvented to focus on bringing people together to create a meeting space for locals and travelers alike, to create a differenti­ated Fijian experience to connect and foster collaborat­ion and friendship­s.

Efforts are in place to give back to the local community and with the establishm­ent of “Solia Lesu” (which means “Give Back”) by Marriott #givebackfi­ji foundation by five Marriott Internatio­nal Fiji Resorts (The Westin Denarau Fiji Resort & Spa, Sheraton Fiji Resort, Sheraton Denarau Villas, Sheraton Tokoriki and Marriott Momi Bay Fiji). The foundation have successful­ly completed food delivery to 23 villages since its establishm­ent in April.

Putting people first is at the core of Marriott Internatio­nal and hotels across Asia Pacific have been going above and beyond to demonstrat­e the extraordin­ary collective power of people to help others and foster positivity in such unpreceden­ted times. Despite the tourism industry currently going through the toughest of times right now, we are positive Marriott Internatio­nal Fiji hotels will come roaring back and stronger than ever.
