Pakinga says it’s a chance to experience the best of Fiji and tell authentic stories that inspire travel.
“Don’t be afraid of making mistakes as you go. Making a mistake should not stop you from sharing what you are passionate about. Post and be proud of what you do”.
She says social media is a powerful tool, and part of her role involves helping small businesses build their online presence to grow and reach new markets.
Local influencer Pate Sowane also joined the program.
He says the Tourism Super Week has expanded his understanding and helped him discover new ways to improve as a content creator.
“It’s been an interesting day, the session was really useful and I feel like I learnt a lot”
The initiative has not only created exposure for those in the tourism industry but also opened doors for others eager to explore the many opportunities the sector has to offer.
