Rosie Holidays, a locally owned and one of the largest travel companies, has rolled out the country’s first fleet of electric tourist passenger vehicles.

At the launch last night, Deputy Prime Minister Viliame Gavoka hailed the integration of electric vehicles (EV) into Fiji’s tourism transport network as a paradigm shift towards environmental conservation.

He emphasizes that this step represents more than just technological progress, it reflects a commitment to combating climate change and reducing the carbon footprint.

Gavoka commends Rosie Holidays for their proactive approach and partnership with sustainable energy leaders, stating that every electric vehicle in their fleet symbolizes progress towards a more sustainable future.

“We understand that responsible tourism is not a choice, but an imperative, a delicate balance between visual experiences and environmental conservatism. We believe that sustainable tourism is an ongoing journey, one that requires constant innovation and an overwhelming commitment to preserving our natural heritage.”

Rosie Holidays Managing Director Tony Whitton echoed Gavoka’s sentiments, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainability and preserving Fiji’s pristine environment.

Whitton emphasizes that this initiative marks the first step towards their goal of moving to a fleet of 100% zero-emission vehicles.

He says as a Fijian family business, sustainability and preserving the environment are paramount.

The company invested $1 million to launch three electric vehicles.
