Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism president Dixon Seeto has applauded governments decision to allow free access to all surf spots in the country.

Seeto says this decision will boost the overall development of the tourism industry.
Surfing areas around the country are now open to anyone who wants to use them under the new Regulation of Surfing Areas Decree. Tourism Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says this will allow access to any surfing area in Fiji without payment or compensation, and enhance Fiji’s image as a premier surf travel destination.
All current leases held by resorts or anyone else over the surfing areas is now annulled
