Why attend

Accessibility is no longer optional for tourism.

Elderly travellers, disabled travellers and those with temporary or vulnerable needs make up a growing share of every market Fiji depends on. This training gives frontline and decision-making staff the tools to serve them well and gives Fiji a head start as a Pacific leader in inclusive travel.

Real, practical skills

Learn how to identify barriers, communicate respectfully, and adapt everyday processes — from check-in to check-out — for guests with a wide range of access needs.

A pathway to certification

This training feeds directly into GSTC's accreditation framework, with select candidates progressing toward Trainer of Trainers status as part of Fiji's first Pacific-region certifying body.

See it in your own backyard

A dedicated site visit day takes you to leading companies at the forefront of Accessible & Inclusive Travel.

Workshop Program

Three days, one continuous journey.

The first two days build understanding and practical skill. The third day takes that learning into the field, with a guided familiarisation visit to the stakeholders who move travellers through Fiji every day.
