FIJI’S growing tourism industry will receive a boost in the form of Fijian Tourism Expo (FTE), a new major international tourism industry event.
Slated to take place at Sheraton Conference Centre in Denarau from May 5 to 8, 2014, the trade event will showcase local tourism operators, Fijian-made products and Fijian culture.
Rick Hamilton, CEO of Tourism Fiji, said: “It is the role of Tourism Fiji to provide a platform for our local industry to market itself to the world…Our focus will be to more effectively engage the Australian and New Zealand markets and to attract quality longhaul buyers from Asia, UK, Europe and the US.
“The FTE programme will be tailored to cater for the needs of local industry and deliver a unique Fijian experience. We will look after all service providers, big and small, and provide a more effective way of promoting Fiji as an international visitor destination of choice.”
The NTO has also appointed Sally Coopers as Tourism Fiji’s events and MICE director. One of her primary responsibilities will be to organise and run FTE.
