Destination Guide

Fiji offers hospitality, tourism, marine activities, construction, healthcare, education, retail and professional job opportunities, with many resort positions concentrated around Nadi, Denarau, Coral Coast and Suva. Fijian culture is warm, communal and respectful, with strong traditions of family, village life, music, dance and the kava ceremony. Life is generally relaxed, outdoors-oriented and centred on beaches, diving, boating and local markets, although imported goods and accommodation can be expensive. Foreign workers normally need an approved work permit before starting employment; the employer commonly supports the application, and requirements vary by nationality and role. Relocating staff should confirm accommodation, transport, meals, medical cover, flights and contract terms in writing. Fiji has a tropical climate, so practical clothing, sun protection and adaptability are important. Learning basic Fijian greetings and respecting village customs will help newcomers settle in.
