TOURISM investments are growing, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation Viliame Gavoka.
While delivering his response on the 2025-2026 National Budget in Parliament, Mr Gavoka said there were 177 active projects valued at $5.8 billion, with many expanding our room inventory.
He said on the aviation front, Fiji Airways now flies to 25 destinations, carrying over two million passengers, a testament to national progress.
“I acknowledge the contributions of Andre Viljoen, outgoing CEO of Fiji Airways, and Brent Hill, outgoing CEO of Tourism Fiji,” he said.
“Their leadership has played a pivotal role in these achievements.”
Mr Gavoka also acknowledged the 25 per cent investment allowance for capital investment in tour and sightseeing operations.
“While incentives for accommodation remain vital, we must also diversify our tourism products. New experiences mean more spending, deeper engagement, and stronger local economies.”
