‘We’re ready’: Fiji prepares to welcome tourists almost two years after closing borders

Fully vaccinated travellers from select countries including New Zealand and Australia will be able to visit from November

Fiji says it is already experiencing a boom in demand after announcing this week that it would open up quarantine-free travel to visitors from select countries, almost two years after closing its borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our website data is well up - we are seeing a real lift in interest. It is exciting, and we want to encourage people to come and spend Christmas and new year in Fiji," Tourism Fiji chief executive Brent Hill said.
