The Northern Division received another boost after a small hotel near Labasa was recognised as the most Luxurious Resort in the South Pacific.

Nukubati Resort, North West of Labasa, received the award of being the Luxury Resort in the South Pacific, and the 5th Best Romance Resort in the South Pacific.

This was after a survey was carried out by Trip Advisor, a website set up for guests who had stayed at the Hotel and rated the hotels.

Hotel owner, Jennie Leewai Bourke said that Trip Advisor is accessed by alot of holiday makers and the recognition means more income for the North.
