Sera Cawanibuka Seruvatu has been appointed as the Cluster Director of Marketing at Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort.

Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort is set to reopen mid March.

A statement released on the Fiji Marriott People’s Facebook Page said she was no stranger to the tourism industry, with almost 20 years of broad international marketing experience in the industry that extends from opening new markets for Fiji and it includes China, Singapore, India, Brazil and Argentina to strengthening presence in South Korea and North America where she spent much of her time.

In these markets, much of the work involved trade, consumers and P&R activities, positioning Fiji distinctly amongst competition.

Much of Sera’s career was spent with Fiji Visitors Bureau that later became Tourism Fiji, marketing the destination in our international markets.

The last five years was spent back at Head office to strengthen Fiji’s destination global brand activities internationally that included the brand revitalisation project to strengthen Fiji’s brand positioning, Bulanaires and supported the most recent global campaign (Open for Happiness).

Being part of the core team that led the airport activities when Fiji opened its international border on December 1, 2021 was a heartwarming experience for Sera.

Cluster Director of Human Resources – Fiji Farrah Shazleen said: “She is excited to be a part of Marriott International.

“A dream that has turned into a reality, she never thought that she would be working in the world’s largest travel company and I felt that she belonged here from the first day.”

“Joining a talented and passionate team is certainly something she is looking forward to, eager to learn along the journey, not to mention the opportunities that will present themselves along the way.”

“Congratulations again Sera and welcome to our family,” Ms Shazleen said.
