Tourism Fiji Rewards 5 Matai Specialist partners with FAM Trip

Tourism Fiji concludes its first post-Covid Matai Agent familiarization trip from India. The trip was part of an incentive announced last year during the launch of the new Fiji MATAI Specialist Programme, Tourism Fiji’s e-learning platform.

Spanning over a period of 7 days, the famil trip allowed the Matai agents, to explore the hidden gems and immerse themselves in the captivating culture of Fiji. Through the trip, the travel agents experienced natural wonders like the vibrant marine life, exploring coral reefs through snorkeling excursions, enjoying adventurous activities such as jet boating and zip lining, and more. The travel agents also delved into the rich Fijian culture, engaging in traditional ceremonies and savoring the authentic flavors of Fijian cuisine.

The intention is to empower trade partners with comprehensive destination knowledge and equip them with firsthand destination experiences, enabling them to showcase Fiji to their clientele with utmost confidence and enthusiasm.

“We are thrilled to welcome our Indian MATAI agents in Fiji as part of our commitment to support tourism recovery in Fiji,” said Kathy Koyamaibole, Regional Director Asia Pacific at Tourism Fiji. “By incentivizing trade partners to actively engage and deepen their destination knowledge, we are confident that they will become powerful ambassadors for Fiji, inspiring travelers to discover the wonders of our beautiful Islands.”
