Suva Hibiscus Carnival
20/08/2010 - 28/08/2010
Place: Suva
Like many worthwhile projects around the world, Suva's Hibiscus Carnival owes its origins to the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The Suva Junior Chamber of Commerce (now an Incorporated body- Suva Jaycees Inc.) was formed in 1956 by some of the New Zealanders working in Fiji.
When a group of young men in Suva formed a Junior Chamber of Commerce chapter some 40 years ago (1956), one of their early after dinner speakers was that pioneer of Fiji's tourism industry, the late Mr Harvey Hunt, who impressed upon his listeners the excitement of Hawaii's "Aloha Week" which he had just witnessed. So there was the challenge! Why didn't Fiji do something similar?
