Fiji welcomes international passengers reopens its borders

Friday, December 3, 2021

Fiji welcomes its first international passenger flight in nearly two years as the destination reopens its borders. The milestone marked the resumption of international tourism in the idyllic nation after almost 20 months of closures following the outbreak of Covid-19.  As of this morning, Fiji opens to fully vaccinated visitors from travel partner countries for quarantine-free travel.

Australia landed at 11:25, carrying 300 passengers eager for their first tropical island holiday. The country is ready for a successful vaccination roll-out, seeing over 90 percent of its eligible population given both doses. Travelers to Fiji must be fully vaccinated (children under 18-years-old can travel with a vaccinated adult) and from a selected travel partner country, while those over the age of 12 must show a negative RT PCR test taken 72 hours before they board a flight. Once visitors arrive on Fiji soil, they will be able to holiday knowing that everyone they interact with adheres to the highest health and safety practices.

Fiji tourism operators and related services have worked hard to ensure and uphold internationally benchmarked Covid-19-safety practices. The resumption of both domestic and international tourism is a credit to Fiji’s collective commitment to public safety, seamless travel, coupled with our famous Bula spirit, said Brent Hill, chief executive of Tourism Fiji.
