Fiji’s hotel and tourism accommodation sector recorded modest but positive growth in the June Quarter of 2025, with total earnings rising to $439.4 million, according to new data from the Fiji Bureau of Statistics.
The report shows a 4.6% increase in total revenue from accommodation, food, beverages, telecommunications, and other services compared with the same period last year, a sign of continued recovery in the tourism industry.
Key performance indicators also showed slight gains.
Rooms sold rose by 1.6% to 8,977, while rooms available increased by 1.4% to 12,544. This lifted the overall room occupancy rate to 59.3%, up 0.2 percentage points from the June quarter of 2024.
Bed capacity and usage also improved marginally, with beds available up 0.1% to 2,989, and beds sold up 0.5% to 5,585. The bed occupancy rate edged higher to 54.7%.
Employment in the sector also strengthened, with a 1.4% rise in paid jobs, reflecting growing confidence and recovery across the hospitality industry.
Regionally, performance was mixed. Tourist hubs such as Nadi, Lautoka, and the Coral Coast continued to record strong occupancy rates, while Suva, the Northern Division, and the Mamanuca and Yasawa groups saw declines, suggesting the need for renewed marketing or infrastructure support in those areas.
