Fiji opens its borders to tourists

Nearly 600 Fijians have died in the Delta outbreak but the nation's fought back hard with vaccines.

Australia's High Commissioner to Fiji, John Feakes, said Australians are travelling to Fiji because of its high vaccination rate.

"I want to pay tribute to the Tourism Fiji but also to the medical frontline responders who have vaccinated Fijians to the point where Australians are very comfortable coming here."

Fiji Airways said 800 visitors from Australia arrived yesterday and about a thousand visitors will land in Fiji today from Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles.

Tourism Fiji said it's expecting 40-thousand international visitors to arrive in December.
