Christmas tree lightning heralds festive season

THE Christmas spirit and the festive season officially began at the Radisson Blu Resort and Spa on Denarau in Nadi with guests joining resort staff in lighting a Christmas tree on Monday.

The annual event signifies the start of festivities at the resort which is at its full capacity for the end of the year celebrations.

Resort marketing executive Lycyna Kamali said the Christmas tree lighting tradition was an event the resort began about five years ago.

“The way we see it is we wanted to involve our guests in something that has become a tradition for us,” she said.

“This year was a really good year for us in terms of guest turnout and the overall performance of the resort.

“Christmas is a very special time of the year when most people are looking forward to taking a break with their families and loved ones.

“We wanted to remind our guests that we are about family and creating an environment that every member can enjoy themselves.”
