Fiji Tourist-Lure
p. 68 · Read in the full issue
SIXTEEN pages of the 100-page “South Pacific Tour Guide,” re cently produced by British Common wealth Pacific Airlines, is devoted to Fiji. The guide-book, the first of its kind produced, will be distributed to travel agents in North America and the UK this month and its chief pur pose is to encourage dollar tourists to Australasia and Fiji.
The Governments of Australia and NZ, the Fiji Publicity Board, Ansett Travel Industries of Australia, NZ National Airways Corporation and TEAL all contributed to it.
The section on Fiji contains over 30 illustrations and in word and pic ture shows the overseas tourist that Fiji is one of the most beautiful tropical islands in the Pacific and “not the uninteresting island it seems when passing through Nadi Airport —on the wrong side of Fiji.” (Residents of the north-west por tion of Viti Levu who are sensitive on the merits of their side of the island, are kindly asked to note quotes above. This heresy was uttered by the compilers of the book —not by PIM).
