Abstract

The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought far-reaching and complex repercussions. Small Island Nations (SINs) are particularly devastated by the pandemic because of their peculiar characteristics. One of the worst-affected Pacific countries is Fiji. The nation has suffered because of the shattering of its booming tourism sector for almost two years. However, on 1 December 2021, the country reopened its border thanks to the effort exerted to fast-reach one of the highest immunization rates globally. This paper offers a rapid assessment of the reopening process and the potential for Fiji’s tourism recovery and contributes to the current body of knowledge regarding tourism recovery in SINs.
