A requirement to provide both proof of Covid-19 vaccination and valid travel insurance was lifted earlier this week as the country "evolves towards treating Covid-19 as endemic".

It comes after Fiji recorded 636,312 visitors in 2022, "surpassing expected targets".

Tourism Fiji chief executive Brent Hill said: “The industry welcomes the decision to remove all protocols, restrictions, vaccination requirements and Covid-19 tests – and invites the world to come and experience Fiji: where happiness comes naturally."

Hill, though, said the country’s tourism sector would continue to "strongly encourage" travellers to travel with insurance.

Around 95% of Fiji’s adult population is now vaccinated against Covid-19, with a booster programme under way.

Fiji Tourism added the country’s border authorities would continue to review border health measures and maintain community surveillance "for early warning of future threats while fostering socio-economic recovery".
