After months of keeping its borders closed to most tourists, Fiji is getting ready to welcome back foreign travelers.
Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama said Thursday that the island nation is set to roll out a reopening plan that gradually lifts restrictions based on vaccination rates in Fiji and travelers’ countries of origin.
“For the sake of the tens of thousands of Fijians – and their families – who depend on our tourism industry, we are also preparing to re-open Fiji as one of the world’s safest tourism destinations,” Bainimarama said.
