One of Fiji's premier events, the Fiji Tourism Forum will be held at the recently-opened Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa on Friday, 14 August 2009. The theme for this year's event will be 'The Spirit of Fiji "“ for New Paradigms'. The 'Spirit of Fiji – for New Paradigms' theme will be incorporated into the layout and planning for the forum and also integrated with expert speakers' subject material, items for discussion and subsequent action.

Fiji Tourism Forum is a domestic event where all stakeholders directly and indirectly related to tourism come together for a one day event to brain storm issues directly affecting the industry. This year's event will be attended by the tourism industry at large (hoteliers, Inbound tour operators, transport companies, DMC's, etc), government officials and dignitaries and representatives of the private sector (banks, trade offices, etc). The registration for the forum is open and interested persons can log onto www.fijime.com or contact Ms. Alisi Lutu at alutu@tourismfiji.com.fj
