Environment protection

Fiji Times Saturday 30 September 2017   WE are committed to the protection and conservation of our environment because it is good for Fiji and because the on-going success of our businesses depends on it, says the Coral Coast Chapter of the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association.

Speaking at a climate change disaster resilient education program yesterday, Chapter president and Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort general manager Peter Hopgood said the range and depth of programs they were involved in was testament to their commitment.

“Only this week we joined with Tourism Minister Faiyaz Koya to showcase the work that we undertake in our coral planting, establishment of clam farms and the propagating of mangroves,” he said.
