Dear clients and friends from around the world.

My team and I are trying to stick together in these difficult times, knowing we will embrace you again soon. We follow the news around the world and see the difficult times you are all facing in each of our countries.

Argentina is also affected and has taken very drastic measures to protect the residents and tourists. We feel the right measures have been taken at the right time to stop the spread of the virus, and as a country we feel prepared.

We would like to say that we are still here, and we will remain here putting in our best efforts to adapt to this disruptive time. We understand that we are all a community, and more than ever we have to stay together and support each other.

As in Tango Dance, we want to keep all the embraces for the next time we can see you all. Until then, remain safe, healthy, stay positive, and don’t let this situation dim your passion for travel!

#WeWillTravelAgain

We hope you are keeping safe and well. Please see below updates from Warwick Fiji Resort, Pullman’s Nadi Bay Resort & Spa, and Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa relating to their operations.

Warwick Fiji Resort to close

With reference to the COVID – 19 global pandemic and the subsequent closure of international borders with airline suspensions; please be kindly advised that Warwick Fiji Resort will be closing down from April 3rd 2020 until further notice.

This is a temporary measure in light of the situation and the resort’s reservations department will be open for general inquiries only.

Opening dates will be advised as soon as information is received from relevant authorities.

Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa closes

It is with sadness that Sofitel Fiji Resort advises that due to the current situation we have with COVID – 19, and subsequent border closures, Sofitel Fiji will be significantly scaling down it’s operations and not accepting any guests at the resort from 27th March 2020 until 22nd June 2020.

For any bookings that yo have with us for your clients, there are three options to choose from during this period:

1. We will cancel your client’s booking with a full refund of any monies paid.
2. We will reschedule your client’s booking to a new date in 2020 (which must end by 24th December 2020) – existing bookings will be moved, and the current rate quoted will be honoured. We will also offer a FJD 100 resort credit on the new dates. Any payments made for existing bookings will be transferred to new dates.
3. We are happy to reschedule your client’s booking to a new date in 2021 – any payments received will be credited towards a new booking. However there may be a slight rate difference for new dates in 2021.

During the next three months, we will have a skeleton staff looking after and maintaining the resort. We are also looking at the possibility of trying to push on with the renovation program and have it completed sooner than originally scheduled. This will be dependent on deliveries and shipments still being able to get through to the resort.

Thinking of our travel industry partners over this incredibly difficult time for all of us – we look forward to continuing to welcome your clients to Sofitel Fiji once this is all behind us.

Pullman Nadi Bay – Reservations

We wish to advise that due to the current circumstances surrounding the impact of COVID – 19 the resort will not be accepting any bookings between now and 30 June 2020.

If you have clients booked with us between these dates, please do contact our team to reschedule their bookings (tours@pdfj.com.fj)

We look forward to continuing to work with you and to welcoming your clients to Pullman Nadi Bay in the future.

Thank you for your support and wishing you well.

In the exceptional circumstances we are all experiencing, I hope that you and your families are well and enjoying good health. With this message, I want to thank you for your continued trust during this difficult situation, and to keep you informed regarding our actions at COLTUR PERU.

I am proud to be able to confirm that 90% of our travellers have already been able to return home safely, thanks to the work of our dedicated team. We remain committed to assisting those travellers who were unable to leave, and we are doing everything necessary to help them during their stay in Lima.

The drastic decisions made by the Peruvian government in order to contain Covid-19 have been widely praised and they have proved decisive in avoiding an exponential spread of the virus in our country. I am pleased to be able to state that no member of our staff or their immediate families has been infected.

Our president has made the decision to extend the period of mandatory social isolation and border closure until Sunday, April 12th. While our operations remain temporarily suspended, our office staff will continue to assist you as they work from home.

We are developing new experiences and seeking creative ways to continue offering travellers the very best of Peru. When the time is right, we will be ready to welcome them once more and continue sharing with them the magic of our country.

I would like to close with a message of optimism. Tourism in Peru has shown its resilience in other challenging circumstances. We will continue working with the AUTHENTIC DEDICATION that has always characterized us, contributing with you to the development of our country’s travel industry, and to the wider economy.

From my desk at home, I’m thinking about each one of you. Over the past few weeks, countries and cities have asked their citizens to stay home to avoid the spread of the coronavirus, to care for the elderly and their loved ones. We at BeBrazil have done no different. Our main concern is with the health and well-being of our team, our families, our passengers, suppliers, and partners worldwide. The only thing we can do to help, is stay home.

We have been working from home since Monday last week, and have been in close touch with many of you postponing bookings, helping guests get back home, looking at the future, and standing together during this time. Thank you to each one of you for your continued support.

Our industry is about people and for people, although we are in a social distancing mode, we would love to invite you for a “virtual casual Coffee” to break the routine, say “Hi” and catch up. We are happy to schedule online training and webinars to help you increase your destination knowledge.

During this time, our team will be dedicated to creating new exciting programs, updating our product, and getting ready for the near future where you will all need our full support and creativity.

I’m personally very thankful for the great team I have today at Be, and know for certain that we will come out of this stronger together.

We work in an industry that delivers dreams, connects people, explores different cultures, and enriches us every time. I believe that after this period of isolation, the desire to explore will increase and we are here stronger than ever to help deliver each and every one of those dreams.

Stay Home, Stay Healthy and BE POSITIVE always!
