The Fijian government has made a statement to say tourists are safe and comfortable days after a devastating cyclone hit the area.
The Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism, Hon. Faiyaz Siddiq Koya said that flights returned to normal on Monday and that Fiji Airways was prioritising guests who want to go back home.
The boat service schedule was reinstated on Tuesday.
Minister Koya stated that all properties had taken precautions and actions to ensure that their guests were safe and taken care of.
He added: "Furthermore, there are no reports of any significant structural damage to the majority of hotels in Viti Levu, except for some properties in the Rakiraki area.
"Cyclone Winston has caused extensive damage to the communications infrastructure, hence, mobile and Internet communications in some parts of Fiji may be affected."
The Minister stated that tourism remained a key and important industry for Fiji.
Forty two people have been killed as a result of the storm and some remote areas and islands are yet to be reached by relief teams.
Cyclone Winston, which struck last weekend and was described as the worst to ever hit the country, has also left 8,500 people sheltering in evacuation centres.
