NEW ZEALAND travel consultants visited family-friendly properties in the country as part of Tourism Fiji’s first-ever educational program, geared to showcase the family market.

Twenty-four consultants took part in the “Free me-Fiji Me” campaign and visited hotels and resorts on the Coral Coast, Denarau Island and Toberua Island Resort in Lomaiviti.

Island hopping in the family-friendly Mamanuca Group was an integral part of the itinerary because of the large number of family-oriented resorts in the area.

Tourism Fiji said, programs were designed to allow the Kiwi agents to experience Fiji’s unique living culture and a number of newer adventure-oriented activities recently launched in the country.

A gala dinner was held at Plantation Island Resort on the final night.

Tourism Fiji acknowledged the support from Air Pacific and Air New Zealand for making the family-friendly familiarisation possible.

“Further establishment of Fiji as one of the world’s foremost family friendly destinations remained a critical part of Tourism Fiji’s marketing strategy in New Zealand,” said TF regional marketing director, Sala Toganivalu.
