The Group was warmly welcomed by staff of Investment Fiji, with Mr. Kamal Chetty, the Manager Investment, taking them through a brief presentation on business opportunities and highlighting some of the priority sectors that the Fiji Government is focused on developing and growing in the medium term, which included; Tourism, Agriculture, Manufacturing and ICT.

On tourism, it was emphasised that while Fiji continues to grow as a reputable tourist destination, there is urgency to provide supporting amenities, accommodation, access and attraction to maintain such status. Sports Tourism was also discussed at length.

 

Investment Fiji highlighted that the Japanese labour-requirement standards are very high, and it would be an ideal benchmark for Fiji to pursue, with training from potential Japanese investors.

It was also highlighted that the resumption of the Fiji-Japan direct flight is bound to have positive impact on trade and economic relations between the two countries.
