The senior executives of the ANZ Bank, which is the largest financier for the Tourism Industry in Fiji, this morning had a meeting with the Interim Tourism Minister in relation to more investment opportunities in the industry.
Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said the ANZ CEO for Asia Pacific Region and the Pacific Mike Smith is keen on investing in water activities for hotels built on our foreshores.
Sayed-Khaiyum added there are not enough water activities for coastal hotels.
He said they had discussions about ANZ's role in Fiji and the liberalization of the Fijian economy.
Sayed-Khaiyum said there have been a number of changes in the Foreign Investment regulation and overseas investors have been given the opportunity to get coastal trading licenses.
The ANZ executives are also expected to meet with Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama later this afternoon.
