Local operators and stakeholders are now the ones responsible for looking after the cruiseliner tourists that visit the country from the wharves, on tours and back.
These are the sentiments of Tourism Fiji Chief Executive, Josefa Tuamoto who said Tourism Fiji is now totally focusing on international tourism marketing.
He also said they used to have booths, information and planned activities at the wharves however this has changed to allow local stakeholders to step up and participate in the hosting of these cruiseliner tourists.
Meanwhile, on cruiseliner tourists not knowing the incentives available for them at ports of call in the country, Tourism Fiji Chairman Patrick Wong said all this information is supposed to be given to them as they get off the liner.
Meanwhile, Cruise Committee Member Peter Mazey said the next cruiseliner into Suva is expected on the 28th of this month.
