From hereon
Following on from the 2014 precedent, where initial scoring has been very close, some categories have more than three applicants short-listed for the next round of judging.
The continuation of this approach again ensures the awards assessments are as thorough, fair and transparent and as logistically possible.
The newly-introduced Individual Categories that includes, Fiji Tourism Pride, Emerging Tourism Leader and Tourism Leader have been submitted to a separate panel of industry leaders and experts.
The panel is headed by an independent chairperson with broader business focus for judging, this short-list will be announced in due course.
The Trustees welcomed some first-time ANZ Awards’ entrants to the shortlist, as well as previous years’ winners and entrants.
Trustee and Chair of the Fiji Excellence in Tourism Awards Organising Committee, Olivia Mavoa, said: “It was very pleasing to note the quality applications submitted from the different categories.
She said judging of shortlisted applicants has already commenced.
