FIJI TIMES 17 March 2020 – ONE of the country’s largest mobile telecommunications service providers has recorded a drop in its roaming services revenue as a result of the drop in the number of tourists to Fiji.
Vodafone Fiji regional chief executive officer Pradeep Lal yesterday said although they had not noticed any significant drop in their inward remittances through the M-PAiSA platform, they had noticed drop in sales at their airport shops.
Mr Lal said drop in tourism arrivals meant less visitors were buying mobile phones and other accessories which had led to the decrease in revenue.
“It’s early to give numbers but I can say that until very recently the numbers were quite OK but in the past one week or so the numbers have dropped quite significantly,” he said.
