Fiji recorded 823,409 visitor arrivals in the year to October, according to the Reserve Bank of Fiji’s latest November Economic Review, marking a slight but significant lift for the sector despite mixed performances across key markets.
The RBF noted that arrivals grew by 0.1 percent, supported by continued momentum from the United States, Pacific Islands, the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.
These gains helped counter “subdued outturn” from Fiji’s largest traditional markets, Australia and New Zealand.
Tourism’s resilience continues to play a critical role in Fiji’s economic outlook.
The central bank said Fiji is poised to achieve its fourth straight year of economic growth in 2025, projecting a 3.4 percent expansion next year after an estimated 3.5 percent rise in 2024.
“This outlook is in line with upbeat consumption activity, an improving investment climate, sustained government spending and generally positive indicators for the first ten months of the year,” the RBF noted.
With over 823,000 visitors recorded so far, the Bank says the tourism sector remains a steady pillar of recovery and growth as the country advances towards 2025.
