After much controversy and uncertainty, the multi-million dollar Natadola Bay Resort and golf course is all set to open its doors today.

With the official opening to be done by the Prime Minsiter, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, the new project is expected to bring much relief to the tourism industry as well as to Fiji's economy.

The 400 room resort is expected to employ more than 400 local workers.

The Natadola Bay resort is owned by Natadola Bay Resort Limited which is the investment arm of the FNPF.

NBRL Chairman, Felix Anthony had earlier said the project is intended to provide an effective yield, as well as to assist the country economically along with many additional benefits to locals.

The opening ceremony of the Natadola Bay resort will commence at 5pm today.
