Fijian Tourism 2021
The Fijian Tourism 2021 (FT 2021) is a comprehensive development plan prepared by the Fijian Government to grow Fiji’s tourism industry from $1.9 billion in 2017 to an industry worth $2.2 billion by the end of 2021.
The overarching focus of the plan is to maximise tourism yield while achieving a sustainable rate of visitor arrivals growth.
Strategies outlined in the FT 2021 are aligned to the overall vision of the Fijian Government, which is to provide the enabling environment to elevate the tourism sector to provide livelihood, income and to benefit all Fijians.
In summary, the key strategies focus on:
- Building an industry that is resilient, productive and focuses on quality.
- Marketing of the Fijian brand in the traditional markets to explore the untapped potential, and also targeting new and emerging markets of Asia.
- Investments in infrastructure that will lead to investment in the tourism industry.
