Fiji’s largest hotel trade show underway

Fiji’s largest hotel trade show HOTEC 2014 is currently underway with 30 exhibitors including 21 local operators.

Speaking at the opening of the show, Tourism Minister Faiyaz Koya said it is an opportunity for the hotel operators and hotel-related activity providers to come together and share knowledge, experiences and appraise others in the latest trends, outlook and growth.

Koya highlighted that the Tourism Industry is the largest foreign exchange earner, earning approximately 33 percent of the GDP and the total income from the industry stands at around $1.32 billion.

HOTEC is the premier event for the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association which brings together local and overseas exhibitors.

It allows people to expand their reach into the sectors such as Food and Beverage supplies, Information Technology and Communication, furniture and a range of hospitality services.

The trade show is being held at the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa which ends tomorrow.
