Vuvale Kitchen’s Founder, Josese Cagica says it was an opportune moment for him and his family to get together to generate income for their businesses.
“It’s an amazing experience coming down and meeting a lot of new people, interacting with customers and providing service for the public and also giving the public a bit of a taste of what we do, especially here on Fiji Day.”
Matimosi Masi Artisans’ Founder Koto Matimosi says she is thrilled with the boost to the revenue of her business, with the response from people and organizations.
“It always gives us the idea that we have to celebrate in our way, like to be, always be a memorandum thing for us to celebrate Fiji Day, but on another side it can be a source of finance to you, you know, in business-wise.”
