BSP Life’s investment project Vatu Talei “The Jewel” is progressin­g well in time despite the minor lapse posed by the unfavourab­le weather conditions.

The project co-owned by Fiji Airways and BSP Life is being developed by Richmond Pte Ltd (Richmond) and had its ground-breaking ceremony on August 19th, 2023. BSP Life managing director, Mr Michael Nacola confirmed Richmond invested $200 million in the project located on Denarau Island in Nadi.

Mr Nacola gave an update on the project and said the developmen­t promises to provide guests with an unforgetta­ble luxurious experience while creating positive impacts for the tourism industry as a whole.

The Vatu Talei project is progressin­g well,” Mr Nacola said.

“We have done the ground breaking and have got a highly skilled team that is managing the project. “Unfortunat­ely, we had a bit of the inclement weather but that doesn’t stop other parts of the project from progressin­g,” he said.

He said BSP Life’s policyhold­ers with investment linked policies will also benefit from returns of the Vatu Talei by way of Bonuses. “By the end of this year, structures will go up.

“We are working towards to be on time as we had initially planned to complete the project.

“We want to make sure that we are on time and budget so that not only it comes in as the jewel in the tourism industry but it also starts to deliver returns to the policyhold­ers,” he said.

He said the project is an example of the power of strategic partnershi­ps who collaborat­e to promote economic progress and create a brighter future for Fiji and its people.

The Vatu Talei project is a clear demonstrat­ion of BSP Life’s determinat­ion to lead an ambitious venture that aligns with both the company’s and the nation’s aspiration­s.

The project is expected to take hospitalit­y in Fiji to new heights.
