The 55 nominees for the Fiji Excellence in Tourism Awards 2022 have been announced ahead of the nation’s tourism awards gala night late next month.
The theme of the event is “Celebrating Resilience and Recovery in Tourism” and ties in with the judges’ view that the finalists are a diverse and balanced group, all worthy of awards of excellence.
