Fiji Government fails tourism industry
A report in the Fiji Times last week says that there is renewed criticism of Fiji’s interim administration for failing to help the tourism industry.
The managing director of the Shangri-La Fijian Resort, Radike Qereqeretabua, says there had been much talk with no meaning and no productive action by the interim government.
Despite numerous presentations made by tourism industry leaders to the government, the promised $1.2m for promotion has yet to materialise.
Mr Qereqeretabua says while all this talking is going on, hotel rooms and airline seats are vacant, reports Radio New Zealand International.
He believes if vacant seats and vacant rooms are not sold, there is no tomorrow.
He says tourism is the key to immediate economic growth and the government should demonstrate action and not talk.
