Construction Trends in Fiji

Posted by SceneR on August 20, 2009

buildingConstruction workers often try to get jobs that allow them to work in beautiful destinations. For awhile, one of the top destinations to get construction work in was Fiji. However, the market in Fiji is changing and it’s not nearly as easy to get a good construction job there as it was just a few short years ago. This doesn’t mean that construction workers can not find jobs in Fiji but it does mean that they need to know where to look.

A few years ago, the place to get a job in Fiji was in the construction of hotels and resorts. Business was booming and it seemed like a new Fiji hotel or Fiji resort was going up every other month. This opened up a load of construction jobs. However, a decline in the economy has reduced the amount of new building that’s going on there today. Construction workers who work on hotels will need to look at renovation work instead of new construction if they want to find a job.

Construction workers may also find that a good place to get a job in Fiji right now is in projects assigned by the government. Construction work on roadways and sewers is still plentiful in this area since the government wants to keep the area nice for visitors. Today’s construction workers can try to find employment in this sector until the hotel business starts improving again.

Going Fishing in Fiji

Posted by Sam on April 28, 2009

I love to fish.  So do my wife and teenage son.  Whether it’s in a stream, off a pier, in deep ocean, off a reef - we love it all, and we have all kinds of lures and tackle to prove it.  We also have a big freezer full of fish we’ve caught.  And when we go on vacation, it’s almost always a fishing trip. 

This year we chose to travel to Fiji because it’s been a while since we’ve been in the tropics and we heard the fishing is wonderful there.  Last year we camped in the woods and fished for trout.  It was pretty rustic, so my wife said this year she wanted to do the opposite - stay in a luxurious Fiji hotel.  As for what my son wants - he’is game for anything.  We’ve never fished for tuna or walu, so that’s on our list.

Now there are fishermen who don’t particularly like to eat fish after catching them - that’s certainly not us. We always eat what we catch. And it’s not like my son and I just hand our catch over to my wife to clean. She’d never put up with that.  We all have to pitch in.
