Tourism Fiji is celebrating a headline year for visitor numbers, welcoming a record 822,253 visitors between January and October 2024.

The figure represents a 6.5 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2023, surpassing pre-pandemic levels.

Within those numbers, UK visitors to Fiji were up 16 per cent year-on-year between January and October, with recent months performing particularly strongly, for example September 2024 was 60 per cent up over September 2023.

The record visitor figures are set to be boosted this month by a new Fiji Airways flight from Dallas launching on December 10th, which has favourable connection times with flights to and from the UK.

This, alongside flight connections via a host of international hubs including Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Vancouver, San Francisco and LA, means that it has never been easier for UK travellers to get to this paradise archipelago of over 300 islands.

Tourism Fiji, chief executive, Brent Hill said: “This has been a landmark year for Fiji, as we celebrate record-breaking visitor numbers and a renewed global appreciation for everything that makes our islands unique.

“Our success reflects more than just breathtaking beaches—it’s about the authentic Fijian experiences and connections travellers have here.

“The future of tourism in Fiji is bright, with exciting new developments and global recognition for our hospitality.

“We’re proud to share the warmth and magic of Fiji with more visitors than ever before, as we continue to grow sustainably and authentically.”
