On July 1, 2010, Pacific Sun stopped flying from Nadi Airport to Mana and Malololailai islands due to a "lack of economic performance" which is a polite way of saying "not enough bums on the seats". Mamanuca tourists now have no choice other than to…

I read in today's http://pidp.eastwestcenter.org/pireport/text.shtml that "Fiji has passed a decree regulating surfing areas and wiping out existing business licenses to run surfing operations in the industry." This seems to indicate that waves like…

David...leave it to you again to apprise me of news coming from my own backyard! Mahalo Yes, this will be something like deregulating the airline industry in the US back in the 70s! A free for all.

Business owners in Fiji are DELIGHTED!! It also seems that "Easter Saturday" has quietly disappeared as a Public Holiday. At least it's been omitted from the lists of holidays published in the papers & mentioned on TV....let's hope it's gone as well!

Bula David, That move doesn't surprise me. The PM is very popular with the business community near as I can tell. He recently allowed (or his minister of Tourism allowed) drinking establishments that cater to tourists to operate into the wee hours.…

Pacific Sun Drops Mana and Malololailai

On July 1, 2010, Pacific Sun stopped flying from Nadi Airport to Mana and Malololailai islands due to a "lack of economic performance" which is a polite way of saying "not enough bums on the seats". Mamanuca tourists now have no choice other than to use the regular catamaran services or expensive charter flights. The Mololo Cat to Malololai has… Continue

FIJI OPENS PUBLIC ACCESS TO SURFING AREAS

I read in today's http://pidp.eastwestcenter.org/pireport/text.shtml that "Fiji has passed a decree regulating surfing areas and wiping out existing business licenses to run surfing operations in the industry." This seems to indicate that waves like Cloudbreak off Tavarua Island, which were formerly restricted to upscale resort guests most of the time, are now to be opened to all surfers. If true, this will be quite a… Continue
