He says when international borders open, Fiji will not want to close its borders and hotels again so it’s better to be methodical and open up properly.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds they are already creating soft and hard infrastructure to cater for the thousands of tourists that are expected.

He says every stakeholder will play a critical role when international borders open.

A question and answer session was also held with the Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong, where stakeholders were able to clarify key issues regarding the COVID-19 Safety protocols, plans, and other measures that will be implemented when international borders reopen.
