HOTEC 2026, the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association’s premier trade exhibition, returns on October 22-23 at the Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort and Spa in Wailoaloa, Nadi. Each week, we introduce some of this year’s confirmed exhibitors. This week’s line-up features the Trade and Investment Queensland delegation, co-Platinum Sponsors alongside Austrade.
Commercial Kitchen Design
Commercial Kitchen Design brings more than 35 years of hospitality design and consulting experience to HOTEC, with a growing Fiji portfolio spanning Namale Resort & Spa, Nawi Marina, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort in Savusavu and Tavarua Island Resort. Resort owners, operators and architects can discuss practical, operationally focused design for commercial kitchens, bars and food service facilities across new builds and refurbishments across the Pacific. HOTEC also marks the introduction of Resort & Hotel Supplies, a specialist procurement service covering kitchen equipment, front-of-house products and furniture, sourced from established Australian, international and Fijian manufacturers, giving properties one experienced partner to manage the entire process from concept and design through to procurement, installation and final handover, reducing the need to coordinate multiple contractors separately.
SANAME
SANAME is an Australian-owned health and wellness brand specialising in premium collagen brews, bone broths and functional nutrition products developed with a focus on performance, recovery and everyday wellbeing. Food and beverage teams can sample science-backed formulations designed to support gut health, immunity and vitality, combining high-quality ingredients with genuine convenience and flavour that make healthy choices easy to deliver. As guest demand for wellness-focused dining continues to grow, SANAME offers hotels and resorts a practical way to introduce functional nutrition across breakfast menus, in-room amenities or dedicated wellness programming, giving properties a distinctive point of difference that sets their food and beverage offering apart from standard resort menus, without requiring specialist kitchen skills or additional preparation time from existing staff.
RID
RID has protected Australian families from mosquitoes and biting insects since the 1950s, giving hotel and resort operators a trusted, Australian-owned range built for life outdoors. The stand highlights RID’s Antiseptic Bite Protection, which combines effective repellent with antiseptic care for existing bites, alongside tropical-strength, sensitive and DEET-free formulations suited to guests of all ages, from families with young children to guests with sensitive skin. For properties managing outdoor dining, pool areas and tropical gardens, RID offers a reliable, well-recognised option to include in guest amenities or on-site retail, supporting guest comfort and wellbeing throughout their stay, whether guests are relaxing by the pool, dining alfresco or exploring the grounds, and giving operators a familiar, well-trusted name to put in front of guests.
Barnes & Brown
Barnes & Brown is redefining the non-alcoholic drinks category with a premium range of alcohol-free spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails. Bar managers and food and beverage teams can taste a collection crafted to deliver the complexity, flavour and ritual of traditional spirits without the alcohol, giving venues a sophisticated option for guests seeking a full-flavoured alternative to a standard mocktail. As demand for considered drinking continues to grow across hotels, bars and restaurants, Barnes & Brown offers properties a simple, effective way to broaden their beverage list and cater to every guest, whatever they are drinking that evening, from designated drivers to guests simply taking a night off alcohol without missing out on flavour, occasion or presentation at the bar.
Morlife
Morlife has developed innovative health and wellness products since 2000, giving food and beverage teams a range built around nutritional science and everyday convenience. The stand features superfood blends, breakfast products, fortified teas and nutritious snacks designed to support guests seeking healthier options without compromising on taste or presentation. For hotels and resorts looking to expand breakfast offerings, in-room amenities or wellness-focused menus, Morlife provides functional foods that combine genuine nutritional benefit with broad guest appeal, helping properties respond to steadily growing demand for health-conscious experiences across every stage of a guest’s stay, from arrival to departure, and giving kitchen teams a straightforward, low-effort way to add variety to breakfast buffets and room service menus.
Mr Consistent
Mr Consistent brings an Australian premium, pre-batched cocktail range built on an Australian-first sourcing policy and high-quality local ingredients. Bar managers and food and beverage teams can discuss how the range delivers bar-quality cocktails with genuine consistency, removing the guesswork and prep time that comes with mixing from scratch behind a busy bar during peak service. Designed for convenience without compromising on flavour or presentation, Mr Consistent suits everything from poolside service to fine dining venues, keeping service fast, reliable and genuinely effortless for staff, whatever the size or pace of the operation on any given night, freeing up bartenders to focus on guest service rather than repetitive prep work during the busiest periods of the night.
