Chinese Investors to Build Fiji Hotels
Two major hotel projects in Fiji owned by Chinese nationals are in the
pipeline awaiting implementation, according to Fiji's interim Commerce
Minister Taito Waradi. Details were not revealed regarding the value of
the projects, or where the hotels will be located. Fiji received
approved destination status from China in 2004, and recently granted
visa exemption to Chinese nationals, who will now have their visa
stamped on arrival.
