Westpac Fiji believes that the tourism and banking sector play complementary roles to increase Fiji’s economic growth.
Westpac has set up booth at the Bula Fiji Tourism Exchange. It is briefing overseas agents on the tailor-made services for ease of mind to tourists.
General manager Adrian Hughes speaking to Sun News said Westpac has been in the Pacific for a very long time and supported Fiji in building a pathway for tourists.
“The tourism sector is very important for banks and we need to provide the right support for ease of access,” Mr Hughes said.
“Westpac is proud to play their part in Fiji’s success. Making banking easier for tourists and networking with the people behind the industry has been the vision for Westpac.
“I believe that BFTE has played a major part in the Fiji tourist industry whilst bringing wholesalers and retailers together in promoting Fiji.
Tourism and corporate manager Westpac Adam Whytcross said the tourism industry in Fiji has great potential and great growth.
“It’s very important to support the industry for a better future and through this event we hope to build a bridge to attract more tourists to our shores.
“The number of tourists visiting our shores has increased over the past few years,” said Whytcross.
