Miss Hibiscus Festival 2024 contestants are urging people to have civic pride and not to litter our beautiful environment, keeping it bright and clean.

This was highlighted by the contestants during fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan when asked about two things they would like to change in Suva City.

Miss Apco Rowena Acraman says people throw their litter anyhow and there is a need for more education on civic pride so people know how to keep their City and Towns clean.

Miss Fiji Fashion Week Pepe Malani says we also need to keep our oceans clean as it is one the things that beautifies Fiji and attracts tourists.

When asked how can Suva serve tourists in an efficient way, 19-year-old Malani responded that there should be more companies providing tour guide services to tourists.

Adding to that Acraman says having more tourist guides will not only help tourists but also boost the local economy by creating more jobs.

Miss Goodman Fielder Shannon Patrick says there should be more lights around and parks to be clean so that families can enjoy with their loved ones while Miss Sigatoka River Safari Siteri Qalibau says there should be easy access for tourist who come to Suva for holidays.
