Fiji - A Conference Week at Crowne Plaza Nadi Bay & a Day on Bounty Island

A week in Fiji, between conference sessions and island time. In October 2026, I joined colleagues from tax and customs administrations across the Pacific at the Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort & Spa. On 26 October, I spoke on the panel "Increasing Revenue Without Increasing Tax Rates" alongside Theresa Kyoto Amosa (Ministry of Customs and Revenue Samoa) and Kelerayani Dawai (Fiji Revenue and Customs Service). Outside the sessions, there was golden hour on the resort beach, a Fijian dance welcome, a torchlit fire performance, and a tall-ship sail across the bay to Bounty Island in the Mamanuca group. We finished with live music from the crew on deck. Vinaka to our hosts, the crew, and everyone who made the week so special.
