Tourism Fiji acting CEO Robert Thompson said the tourism industry rallied to get their workers vaccinated.
“Tourism Fiji and the Tourism Recovery Team will continue to support the Ministry of Health and Medical Services in any capacity we can to ensure our people are safe and ready to welcome our guests back to Fiji when the time is right,” he said.
