He says he started working on the project in 2022.

“I hope the government will support my project, improve the road, and supply water.”

The construction of the tourism attractions is expected to be completed within a year, while the development of the hotel group is projected to take five years.

The developer adds that around 20 people are expected to gain employment following the completion of the project.

Investment Fiji Chief Executive Kamal Chetty says he is impressed to see the Korovatu Mountain Top Resort come to life.
