The newly renovated and extended Pearl Resort was officially opened last night by the Prime Minister.
Voreqe Bainimarama said the 85-million dolllar transformation is a very welcome milestone in the development of the tourism industry in Fiji.
132 new rooms have been added to the resort bringing the total to 210.
It also now has a new 400 seat Convention Centre, a 250 seat restaurant brasserie, a spa and wellness centre, a gymnasium and a chapel for weddings.
“I had said recently that any number of countries have a stretch of beach and a cold drink to entice their visitors. But the magic of Fiji is the genuine connection our visitors form with the Fijian people and the warmth of the welcome they always provide. It’s what sets us apart and makes us such a compelling choice of destination,”said Vorege Bainimarama, Prime Minister.
The Pearl South Pacific Resort was acquired in 2012 by Papua New Guinea’s Mineral Resource Development Company.
