Super-yachts want to come to Fiji during this time – Koya

Tourism Minister Faiyaz Koya says there has been a large amount of inquiries from people with super-yachts that want to come to Fiji during this time.

He says they are receiving inquiries about whether Fiji can facilitate this but the government is making it clear that all necessary COVID-19 protocols have to be followed.

Koya says there are one-percenters around the world who will follow the necessary protocols and pay for the actual exercise to do it and there is nothing bad about it.

He says it is not just Fiji doing it.

Last month the government approved a private jet to come in with a group of 30 high net worth individuals from a well-known company.

The group arrived in the jet and went in a seaplane to an island resort.

They will spend three months in the country.
