Win a fam trip to Fiji with Tourism Fiji, British Airways and Fiji Airways

Welcome to Fiji, home to 333 islands, the friendliest locals, and extraordinary adventures on land and sea. Welcome to a world of giant coral reefs, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls and some of the most beautiful coastline imaginable. The islands reopened their borders to fully vaccinated visitors in December, so you can start planning your clients’ dream trips to this Pacific Ocean archipelago today.

British Airways offers flights to Fiji through its partnership with Fiji Airways, making it hassle-free for your clients. Travellers from the UK can connect at one of British Airways’ hubs in Asia or North America before boarding their Fiji Airways flight for their onward journey.

Now agents can also be in with a chance of visiting Fiji by entering an incredible competition to win a spot on a fam trip later this year.

Fiji welcomes you

Bula means ‘hello’ in Fijian. It also means ‘life’, ‘good health’ and ‘cheers’. Fiji is known for its bula spirit, and local people will give you the warmest of welcomes. Of the 333 islands in the Fijian archipelago, around a third are inhabited, so there are plenty of opportunities to meet locals and understand more about their unique and friendly culture.

Clients seeking a trip filled with activities will be in their element with the variety of adventures on the main island. Whether that’s kayaking through creeks amid towering cliffs, embarking on a river safari or renting jet skis to speed over the water, there are so many ways to really discover Fiji.

Nature awaits

Fiji is a treasure trove of flora and fauna. The islands are coated in rainforests and national parks, and embarking on an adventure under the verdant canopies of these thriving ecosystems is the best way to discover the unique wildlife.

In Bouma National Heritage Park on Taveuni, the third-largest island in Fiji, step out on hiking trails that lead to cascading waterfalls, spot the wide variety of exotic birds and marvel at the beautiful scenery found at every turn.

It’s no surprise Fiji is referred to as the soft coral capital of the world

The magnificent wildlife extends beneath the water’s surface too. Fiji is one of the best places in the world for diving. Home to some of the most amazing barrier reefs, including the Great Astrolabe Reef and Great Sea Reef, it’s no surprise Fiji is referred to as the soft coral capital of the world.

The ocean teems with schools of brightly coloured fish. And depending on which of the islands’ many incredible diving sites they visit – divers and snorkellers might be lucky enough to spot sharks, turtles or the renowned manta rays.

Find joy in Fiji

Australian actress Rebel Wilson has worked with Tourism Fiji on the new Open for Happiness campaign. Fiji’s borders reopened to fully vaccinated international travellers from partner countries in December and is ready to welcome visitors back to its shores to experience the islands’ beauty.
