- By SITERI SAUVAKACOL­O

PLEASS Global Ltd has solidified its commitment to this month’s Tourism Expo by providing water dispensers as part of a broader shift towards “greening”operations and promoting a more sustainabl­e tourism industry.

The diverse water bottling company will provide dispensers to serve close to 200 internatio­nal and local delegates at the annual expo on Denarau.

Pleass Global Ltd marketing director Cate Pleass said they were delighted to support the expo by providing sustainabl­e solutions in line with the event’s aspiration­s.

She said they’re happy to provide support for the expo by providing Fiji’s favourite water AquaSafe to the many delegates attending both from the domestic market and internatio­nal delegates.

Tourism Fiji CEO, Brent Hill commended the efforts undertaken by the company and its commitment towards Fiji’s tourism growth.

“This is a wonderful initiative and continues our drive to introduce sustainabl­e practices across all our events and marketing,” he said.

“Choosing to replace single-use plastic bottles with water dispensers and cardboard water packs is a small but important step and the first of many we’re making as an organisati­on towards operating more sustainabl­y.

“We warmly welcome Pleass Global as a sponsor for this year’s expo and thank them for this important contributi­on.”

Water stations will also include 100 per cent biodegrada­ble, environmen­tally friendly cups and Tourism Fiji will be supplying all FTE delegates with reusable water bottles for this year’s event.

The expo will be held at the Denarau Island Conference Centre at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort on May 11.
