Fiji’s track record in containing COVID-19 continues to put the destination in a strong position to reassure international visitors that it will be a safe destination to visit when borders reopen.

According to Tourism Fiji, the importance of developing a “destination-wide” program to communicate Fiji’s achievement in containing COVID-19, and showcase the safety measures in place to keep international visitors safe when international travel resumes to the destination.

“We are well progressed with this initiative and working with the Tourism Response Team and COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Taskforce to finalise the program,” Tourism Fiji chief executive officer Matt Stoeckel said.

“We look forward to sharing it with you once it’s complete,” he added.

This week, Fiji recorded three new border quarantine cases.

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services declared that there was no threat to the community associated with those cases because they were already in a Government-monitored quarantine facility.
