After spending a week exploring Fiji, actress Ileana D’Cruz says Fiji is as beautiful as she remembered.

Ms D’Cruz says her favorite activity was snorkeling: “I’ve always enjoyed being in the water but this time I had the best experience snorkeling at Jean Michel Cousteau Fiji Island Resort.

“We were taken to a beautiful reef that was about 5metres deep and teeming with the most amazing colourful fish. It was absolutely fantastic!”

Minister for Industry, Trade, Tourism, Lands and Mineral Resources, Faiyaz Siddiq Koya met Ileana D’Cruz and her team.

“Ileana has been a great ambassador already and I’m sure she will continue to do us proud,” said Minister Koya.

Ms D’Cruz is Tourism Fiji’s Brand Ambassador in India and is here for nine days to promote Fiji in the Indian market.

She was in Fiji last year as part of a Travelogue with Times of India, which was done in partnership with Tourism Fiji and Fiji Airways.

India is a fast-growing market for Fiji and Tourism Fiji’s newly appointed Regional Manager India Seema Kadam knows this too well.

“We are happy to have a versatile, multifaceted and venturous personality like Ileana explore and enjoy the varied facets of Fiji,” Ms Kadam said.

We are thrilled we could continue working with Ileana in 2018, and have focused her itinerary on the experiences available in Fiji to showcase to the Indian market that there is so much more to Fiji than sand, sea and sun.”

The actress leaves our shores on 11 June and says she has thoroughly enjoyed her time here and learned so many new things about Fijian culture, the people and jokingly said she will surely miss being on “Fiji Time”.

Ms Kadam will continue to leverage the Brand Ambassador in the Indian market through Campaigns and promotions to attract more visitors from India over the next 12 months.
