More super yachts have started arriving since the introduction of the Super Yacht Decree by Cabinet says the Minister for Tourism, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
The Decree was endorsed by cabinet, highlighting the super yacht industry as a top earner for the tourism sector.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said the decree allowed super yachts to come, charter, and cruise in Fiji, which will be of enormous benefits to Fiji.
“There have been super yachts coming in through to our islands,” he said.
The decree allowing super yachts into the country in line with the Prime Minister's 2010 Budget in which Government has reduced, for example, the duty on marine vessels, this now helps to assist to create a marine industry in Fiji.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said super yachts "are big hand spenders and when they come to Fiji, they will actually use our services, buy our food, spend their money here, and use local employees. This decree has enormous support from all sectors".
