Adelegation from the Tour­ism Fiji presented their i-sevusevu to seek blessings from the Momo Na Tui Nadi, Ratu Vuniani Navuniuci, ahead of the Fijian Tourism Expo (FTE) next month.

The Fijian Tourism Expo will take place at the Denarau Island Confer­ence Centre at the Sheraton Fiji Re­sort & Spa from 11 – 13 of May 2022.

Chief executive officer, Brent Hill, who led the delegation said: “As we sat with the Momo Na Tui Nadi to ask for his blessing upon our event, we were happy to hear his support and vision for our premier event.

“As Fiji continues to welcome more visitors and tourists back into the country, its events such as FTE that help our partners better market Fiji.”

The Turaga ni koro of Narewa, Samuela Tuidraki, said: “The i-sevusevu which was presented showed the great level of respect and value that Tourism Fiji has for the Vanua in asking for our bless­ing for their event, the Fijian Tour­ism Expo, to be held in Denarau Island.

“We really appreciate that and are grateful because we know such events also bring more visitors to Fiji and helps our tourism industry as well, so this is also a blessing for us and our people.”

The three-day annual expo plays a key role in providing a platform for international buyers to directly meet and do business with local suppliers.

The event is especially important as more countries begin to resume travel and Fiji actively competes in the tourism sector to attract more visitors to our shores in 2022.
