The National Federation Party said Fiji is as safe as anywhere else in the world for tourists and locals and people's security depends on the higher authorities of any country.
Party General Secretary Pramod Rae said Fiji is a safe place to live in or visit for a holiday as the people here are very friendly.
However, he said NFP believes that any place is as safe as the environment a government creates.
Interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama also said that the tourism and travel world knows that Fiji is the safest tourism destination in the Southern Hemisphere.
Bainimarama yesterday said that reports by the the International media that Fiji is not safe for tourists is misleading.
He said our tourism industry has had its fair share of challenges but we are still one of the best and safest travel destinations the world over and surely the World Tourism and Travel Industry can vouch for that.
He encourages the yachters to continue visiting Fiji in numbers.
Fiji A Safe Place says Rae
