Fiji welcomes back tourists despite omicron threat

1/12/2021 14:35

Fiji's economy took one of the biggest pandemic-related hits in the world last year, declining by 19% and prompting the government to offer jobless people tools and cash to become farmers.
        
        So it was with a sense of relief that officials greeted the first tourist flight from Sydney. More flights from Australia and the U.S. are scheduled in the coming days.
        
        Fiji Airways Chief Executive Andre Viljoen told media that the resumption of tourism would help reignite the economy.
