The Economy Minister highlighted that other countries are offering cheap rates to attract tourists to visit their shores adding that this provides the competition for Fiji.

Sayed-Khaiyum says businesses that offer different experiences, flavors and showcase unique aspects of the Fijian community and way of life is a way to provide a point of difference for visitors looking to travel.

He adds exploring these ideas can also create employment and generate a form of income for Fijians.
