The Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association (FHTA) last week announced its new partnership with the South Pacific Coffee Company (SPCC) as a competition partner for the HOTEC Tradeshow 2024.
Through this partnership, SPCC will play a role in the barista competition, which aims to increase the knowledge and expertise of baristas, ensuring world-class coffee experiences for locals and international visitors.
“Their expertise and passion for quality coffee will be invaluable in enriching our barista competitions, providing participants with exceptional learning opportunities,” FHTA chief executive Fantasha Lockington
Michael Dennis, Director of SPCC said their aim was to support baristas in honing their skills and to showcase the high-quality coffee that the South Pacific can offer.
The Barista Competition at HOTEC 2024 kicks off late this month and would see baristas from across the country compete, learn, and refine their craft, culminating in the finals at the HOTEC Tradeshow.
