Tourism Fiji to Host Tourism Expo in May

Nadi, 13 April 2022 – Tourism Fiji will be hosting its eighth Fijian Tourism Expo from 11 – 13 May 2022, the first face-to-face tourism event being hosted in Fiji since 2019, and the largest event since 2020 involving international guests. 

Dubbed Tourism Fiji’s premier event for the year, the expo is the perfect opportunity to showcase the breadth and depth of Fiji’s tourism offerings and experiences to international buyers, trade partners and media, and is a significant step forward in the reopening of Fiji to international tourists once more. 

Tourism Fiji CEO Brent Hill said, “We’re so thrilled to be hosting our first in-person FTE since 2019 and can’t wait to showcase the very best of Fiji to our key partners. Our main objective for hosting the event is not only to give us the opportunity to build on our great reopening but to also open new markets and foster new partnerships/businesses while strengthening existing ones.”  

The annual expo includes scheduled appointments between international buyers & media to engage with Fiji’s Tourism Industry. 

Tourism Fiji Chief Operations Officer, James Pridgeon said this year’s event will be a little different than normal. 

“As Fiji builds back once again, we are so encouraged that this FTE we will be able to welcome 87 exhibitors, seven international media and 86 international buyers that have confirmed thus far. We will be working closely with industry to allow them a chance to be part of the expo by hosting famils, B2B meetings and presentations. This event is about welcoming tourists once again and really signalling to the tourism trade worldwide that Fiji is back,” Mr Pridgeon explained.  

The Fijian Tourism Expo will be held at the Denarau Island Conference Centre at the Sheraton Fiji Resort & Spa from 11 – 13 May.
