FVB says they hope to have more dialogue with foreign missions
The Fiji Visitors Bureau hopes to have more dialogue with foreign missions concerning changes to their travel advisories in favour of the lifting of the Public Safety Regulation by the interim Government.
Bureau chief executive Viliame Gavoka said the tourism sector had been holding talks with the foreign missions before the lifting of the regulation and they hoped to continue talks.
Mr Gavoka said it all really depended on the interim Government and the steps it was willing to take to move the country forward.
The New Zealand Government has revised its travel advisory to Fiji and are now advising New Zealand citizens that there was “some risk” to their security in Fiji.
The travel advisory said: “Currently, Fiji is calm but a rapid deterioration to the situation, including the potential for civil disorder and violence, cannot be ruled out.”
The travel advisory also touched on matters of law and said there were indications of crime levels increasing in Fiji.
Mr Gavoka said with regards to the travel advisory, the overseas governments had responsibility towards their citizens for their safety and their travel advisories indicated their commitment to their people, adding, “But we hope that overseas governments will bring about some further updates in their travel advisories that will be a plus for Fiji”.
Last week, the interim Government made the decision to lift the Public Safety Regulation which was welcomed by business and tourist sector in the country.
