How Many Places Have You Visited Around Fiji?

Due to my involvement in Fiji’s Tourism Industry I believe I have covered 2/3rd of Fiji but there is still more to see and explore which I cannot wait to do in the next few years to come.

What Is One Place In Fiji You Would Like To Take Visitors To?

To the North to show the beauty of Taveuni and Vanua Levu.

To the West, especially Yasawa Island which are my favourites.

Not to forget our beautiful Interior with its stunning views from the mountain tops.

A combination of all 3 would be the perfect scenario.
