The ANZ Fiji Excellence in Tourism Awards was celebrated in style last night.

Winners of all 13 categories were announced at the 22nd ANZ FETA that was held at the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa in Denarau, Nadi.

ANZ Fiji Country Head Saud Minam made the announcement last night that ANZ would sponsor this prestigious event for one more year.

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of FETA Bill Whiting said the finalists were selected by an independent judging panel made up of industry leaders. He said it was encouraging to see new entrants and previous winners among the strong list of finalists.

This year’s event attracted close to 200 entries. New entrants among the finalists include Barefoot Collection – Awakening Shark, Eco Trax, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, Helipro

The theme for this year’s event was ‘Tourism Benefitting ALL Fijians’, with the theme colour for the night being black and gold.
