Joining forces with the creators of the campaign, Seaweb, the association's board of directors voted in support of a resolution that empowered it to allow the dissemination of information to members all over the country.

Association president Dixon Seeto said he hoped all members could step up and send a powerful message about the visitor industry's collective commitment to sustainability in Fiji.

"We have a chance, as a sector critical to the health of Fiji's economy, to make an important statement about the need for green growth," Mr Seeto said.

"We hope our members will join us in supporting this important cause."

Seaweb Asia Pacific executive director Scott Radway said the campaign had made initial inroads in the visitor sector including high profile pledges from high-end resorts.

"Our partnership with FHTA means we are bringing a dialogue about sustainability to every corner of a sector that reaches thousands of visitors and employees daily," Mr Radway said
