COVID-19: Latest Updates
National News
The Care Fiji Commitment designed to reassure travellers that Fiji is a safe destination to visit on their next holiday. This incentive is Fiji’s obligation to the health and safety of everyone who lives and travels to Fiji. This is a move towards adapting a new normal and getting ready to receive international travellers.
Businesses are invited to join the programme, making a commitment to adopting the Fijian Government’s COVID-19 Safe Guidelines, through the nomination of a Wellness Ambassador who will complete a training programme, create an action plan and train tourism front-liners on best practice in COVID-19 mitigation.
Support For Businesses
The Fijian Government, in the light of COVID-19 unemployment assistance, has announced a new hiring subsidy- the Stronger Together Jobs Support Scheme- to incentivize employers to create employment for out-of-work Fijians. Employers approved as “Stronger Together Employers” will be granted a wage subsidy equivalent to the minimum wage rate for a three-month period when they employ eligible Fijians.
Tax and Customs Incentives
Every year, the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service implement various tax and customs incentives to encourage investment, trade and to strengthen our economy.
