Tourism Recovery Team

In recognising the impact of COVID-19 on travel and tourism, key industry leaders have officially come together to form the ‘Tourism Recovery Team’.

Chaired by the Permanent Secretary for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport, the Tourism Response Team (TRT) is representative of key industry stakeholders such us Tourism Fiji, Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association, Fiji Airways, Reserve Bank of Fiji, Society of Fiji Travel Associates, and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, to name a few.

The TRT was formed by overwhelming industry demand to have a consultative body that is able to channel the concerns and challenges faced by the industry and find pragmatic solutions. Initially, discussions focused around sharing information on immediate impacts, ensuring compliance with Government-mandated measures and repatriating international visitors. As the situation evolved, the group was formalised to provide more strategic and visionary guidance, inter alia, for the longevity of the industry as we enter a new phase of tourism.
