Tourism Fiji acting CEO Michael Meade said TF wants PR firms to bring “the story of Fiji to their international markets in a fresh and memorable way.” He is looking for expressions of interest from firms by April 27 ahead of a competitive review process.
Firms are asked to include a backgrounder, desription of expertise, ownership, staff counts and client lists, as well as from two to five case studies in the tourism and travel PR sector.
Markets covered include Australia, New Zealand,
U.S. (based on West Coast), and Greater China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The country’s government, which came to power in a 2006 military coup, is not recognized by the U.S. and has been criticized by Australia and New Zealand for alleged labor and human rights violations.
Submissions for the PR review go to Meade at mmeade [at] tourismfiji.com.fj, according to Susan Bejeckian, a Los Angeles-based PR consultant who works with Tourism Fiji.
Qorvis Communications in December picked up a $40K-a-month pact to promote business and investment in the Pacific state.
