Mr. Speaker, sir, I thank the uh honorable Corrine Narain for the question. Mr. Speaker, sir, the passage of the Tourism Act 2026 is one of the most significant reforms of Fiji's tourism regulatory framework in decades. Think about how far we have come over the last two decades. We haven't just grown, we've transformed. We have seen our visitor numbers climb and our tourism earnings double, reflecting the hard work of families from our coastal towns to mountain villages. Today, we welcome nearly a million visitors to our shores, a milestone that speaks to the spirit of Fijian hospitality. For the first 6 months of this year, Fiji recorded 460,000 628 visitor arrivals. This represents an increase of 16,866 visitors or 3.8% year-on-year. The growth has brought us more than just hotel folks. It has fostered a new era of community-based tourism, eco adventures in our interior, the shared homes of the digital age. Yet, while our industry has reached for the future, our laws have remained anchored in the past. That's why this government has introduced Fiji's ever tourism legislation. Mr. Speaker, sir, our immediate priority is is to now ensure a practical and an industry supporting transition from the Hotels and Guest Houses Act of 1973 to the new framework which is being administered by the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation. I wish to highlight five key areas of implementation. First, the transition of existing operators. The Act provides transitional protection for businesses currently licensed under the Hotels and Guest Houses Act. Existing licenses and approvals will continue to be recognized for up to 12 months following commencement providing operators sufficient time to transition transition to the new tourism enterprise register. This means that existing operators will not simply lose their ability to operate when the new framework commences. The intention is to provide a managed transition with the ministry assisting enterprises to understand and progressively meet the new requirements. The transitional approach was specifically contemplated when the when the legislation was presented to Parliament. Mr. Speaker, sir. Unlike the previous legislation, which focused primarily on hotels and guest houses, the Tourism Act provides a framework for the broader tourism industry. The new system will therefore progressively bring tourism enterprises, including accommodation providers, tour operators, guides, dive operators, and tourism experiences within a common tourism framework. Under the Act, registration involves classification under the tourism classification system, followed by formal recognition once the applicable legal and technical requirements are satisfied. Recognized enterprises will receive a recognition certificate, and the tourism enterprise register will be publicly accessible accessible. Third, you're developing the recognition pathway for industry and the Fiji tourism standards. Mr. Speaker, sir. Registration is not intended to simply create another license. The objective is to establish a pathway that supports enterprises to improve their quality, sustainability, and compliance over time. The Fiji tourism standards will comprise the tourism industry standards applying for individual enterprises and the tourism destination standard supporting better management of tourism destinations. Importantly, the framework framework The that Fiji's tourism industry is diverse. It therefore provides for a tight tiered classification approach. The recognizes community in dangerous and micro tourism enterprises alongside small, medium, and large operators for the first time. For all the ministry's proposed progressing the supporting implementation arrangements and regulations. Mr. Speaker, sir, the act deliberately provides for a number of operational matters to be prescribed through regulations. This include the detailed training, tourism standards, fees, tourism fund administration, and other implementation requirements. The ministry's focus is therefore on ensuring the necessary regulations, registration processes, administrative systems, data and institutional arrangements are in place to support commencement. This is important because we do not want to impose any new requirements on industry before the government itself is operationally ready to administer it. Fifth, industry awareness and readiness will be central to the transition. The ministry will undertake regular awareness and engagement with existing license establishments and the wider tourism industry so that the enterprise understand whether they are required to register, how they will be classified, the documentation requirements for registration, the standards applicable, and the category of operation, the regulation pathway available to them, and the time frame within which they must transition. This will be particularly important for small operators, community based enterprises and businesses that were not previously captured under the hotels and guest houses act. Mr. Speaker, sir, in terms of timing, commencement will be appointed by the minister. The government's approach is not is to align commencement with operational readiness and then utilize the transitional period provided under the act to progressively meet migrate existing enterprises into the new system. The ministry will therefore communicate the transition the transition dates and compliance requirements to industry ahead of implementation. We do want adequate transition time before a full registration requirements take effect. Mr. Speaker, sir, ultimately, this reform is about moving Fiji away from regulatory system designed primarily for hotels in the 1970s to a modern tourism governance system covering the wider tourism economy. For industry, it means clearer rules, nationally consistent standards, recognition of quality operators, and a pathway to progressively improve standards. For government, it provides a better visibility of the tourism enterprises operating across Fiji, and a stronger basis for policy, planning, standards, and industry development. And for our visitors, it provides greater confidence that tourism enterprises operating in Fiji are working within a recognized national framework for quality, sustainability, and compliance. As I stated without when introducing the legislation to the house, the objective is that the rules are clear, the standards are fair, and compliance is rewarded. Now, what I must say
