Rate adjustment due to wage agreement Increases
It is important to consider these wage increases both in the context of the past years (inflation) and also to recognize that inflation is already factored into these increases. Moreover, it is also understandable that an appropriate wage increases the attractiveness of the industry. Nevertheless, wage costs are often among the largest cost factors for hotels and, alongside other rising costs, contribute significantly to the financial pressure on businesses.

Unfortunately, no more recent data is available at this time. However, a clear pressure following the pandemic can be observed.

Experience tourism has shifted from being solely about leisure to becoming a deeper, more purposeful journey. What once revolved around sightseeing and ticking off landmarks has evolved into immersive encounters with local culture, authentic activities, and meaningful connections. Today’s travelers aren’t just visiting—they’re seeking to live the destination. This evolution reflects the growing demand for personalized and authentic experiences that stray from mass tourism products. Tourists are looking for interaction with local communities, learning traditional skills, participating in local festivities, and understanding the cultural and historical context of the area.

The future challenge for the Fiji market will be in ensuring growth in tourist accommodation supply and seeing a greater diversification of source markets to improve year-round performance and reduce seasonal travel fluctuations.
