Plans for Fiji to be remembered for the proposed travel bubble with Australia and New Zealand may not eventuate at any point in the near future.
This comes as the two nations are doing combating with another flood of the coronavirus.
Australian High Commissioner to Fiji John Feakes says the ongoing convergence of new COVID cases may prompt the expansion of the nation’s movement limitation strategy.
Feakes says while the Federal government is forcing tough measures to contain the infection, the choice to permit Australian sightseers to visit Fiji isn’t material at this point.
We see basically how get Australian vacationers back in Fiji, yet we need to do it securely. Be that as it may, right now with the episode in Australia, we have to get that leveled out before we can examine or regularizing travel between the two nations.”
New Zealand High Commissioner to Fiji Jonathan Curr says it might be untimely at this phase to foresee possibilities of the proposed travel bubble.
He underscored the need to fortify two-sided relations in this season of vulnerability.
“In any case, I think the significance of nations cooperating of teaming up, sharing data and attempting to discover innovative arrangements managing the effects of this pandemic is extremely significant. We are lucky we have an extraordinary relationship with Fiji and we are in steady discourse and bolster each other traversing these difficult time for our nation and individuals.”
Economy Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Fiji is in steady discourse with Australia and NZ including that they will be playing it safe to guarantee that if Fiji is remembered for the Bubble, there is no danger of COVID-19 being brought into the nation.
The two nations make up the biggest bit of vacationers to Fiji consistently and facilitating travel limitations would mean gradually restoring our travel industry.
