Nadi – Tourism Fiji recorded a 55% increase in traffic to its website in a day on Friday (Mar 4), www.fiji.travel following the easing of New Zealand’s home isolation requirements, signalling that Kiwis are interested to explore Fiji as a post-pandemic holiday destination.
Holiday-starved fully vaccinated Kiwis can now fly to Fiji and enjoy quarantine-free travel both when they arrive in Fiji and as they return home.
Fiji Airways Managing Director & CEO Andre Viljoen said, “We’re so excited to finally resume commercial flights between New Zealand and Nadi after two long years. We’ve seen an influx of Kiwis interested in flying to Fiji and we expect to see the demand continue to increase over the coming months. It’s a joy to be able to welcome our Kiwi neighbours back on board with our famous hospitality and friendly Bula Spirit.”
Tourism Fiji CEO, Brent Hill explains, “Fiji and our people can’t wait to welcome Kiwis back to our shores. We’ve been waiting for this moment for two years and I can assure New Zealand that Fiji is ready to welcome you back safely for two-way quarantine free travel with our Care Fiji Commitment. Fiji is well and truly open for happiness, and we can’t wait to give them the holiday that they all deserve right now.”
Fully vaccinated travellers to Fiji must provide a negative RAT no more than 24 hours prior to departure or a negative PCR took no more than two calendar days prior to departure.
Tourism Fiji Regional Director for New Zealand, Sonya Lawson said, “We’re anticipating high demand from New Zealand with the opening of the border. Fiji has always been a popular hot spot for Kiwis, previously being Fiji’s second-largest source market and accounting for over 200,000 visitors each year and we’ve seen that many Kiwis are already eager to get back to the place where happiness finds them.”
