The board of directors of Tourism Fiji has immediately removed Rick Hamilton from the role of chief executive of the national tourism body following his advice that he had signed an employment agreement for a role in a tourism office of a competing travel destination. When Hamilton was appointed ceo in January 2013, it was with the understanding that his family would relocate with him to Fiji,” said Fijian Attorney-General and minister for Tourism, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. The Board was advised after Hamilton began his tenure that their relocation was not possible, and understands his wish to no longer be separated from his family and take up a position in the same location. Tourism Fiji’s board of directors is looking at potential permanent candidates for the ceo position, and expects to announce a replacement in the near future.
