Investors from around the world will be asked to consider funding for a number of innovative tourism projects around the South Pacific at an Investment Mart in Fiji this week.
These proposals and about 100 others with a total value of nearly 200-million US dollars will be put before potential investors during the four-day Investment and Partnership Conference to be held in Nadi from today.
Business concepts seeking investor support are include a herbal village in Fiji, a tissue factory in Solomon Islands and a tree-house eco-resort in Papua New Guinea.
Proposals deemed to have sound development potential could receive additional assistance from the European Union's ProInvest Programme, which is funding the conference.
