Fiji’s tourism industry recorded 105,791 visitor arrivals in July 2026, the highest monthly total ever registered, according to provisional data from the Fiji Bureau of Statistics. This figure marks a 6.5% increase over July 2025, which saw 99,311 visitors, and is 7.4% higher than June 2026 arrivals of 98,522. July 2026 arrivals also exceeded totals for July in 2024 and 2023, which were 98,332 and 93,483 respectively.
Tourism Concentration and Industry Foundation
About 80 percent of Fiji’s tourism activity is concentrated in the Western Division, a region central to the industry’s performance. Tourism Minister Viliame Gavoka stated that Fiji’s tourism sector is currently on a
strong foundation, reflecting stability and positive prospects for growth amid the competitive global market.
Minister’s Remarks on Growth and Leadership
Minister Gavoka emphasized Fiji’s natural suitability for tourism, adding that leadership with an understanding of the industry will help sustain its expansion. He noted the ongoing challenge of extending tourism benefits more broadly across communities throughout Fiji.
“The country is ideal for tourism. It’s something that we do well and with the leadership that has empathy for the industry, it will continue to grow,” Gavoka said.
