- Abstract
Tourism sector development is one of the key strategies for economic growth established in Fiji and Vanuatu as a vital source of business, investment, employment, and entrepreneurial activities. Fiji and Vanuatu implemented fiscal policy stimulus incentives that included various initiatives in response to COVID-19. In Vanuatu the government's financial and economic stimulus package for COVID-19 supported workers, businesses, and communities to address short-term cash flow challenges and set up medium-longer term recovery efforts (Government of Vanuatu 2020). CONCLUSION This study on the relationship between the tourism sector, economic growth, and the effect of the coronavirus pandemic crisis indicates an accrual of economic vulnerabilities in the case of Fiji and Vanuatu.
