The Sport Events market in Fiji is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences: Fijians have always had a strong passion for sports, with rugby and soccer being the most popular sports in the country. The local population enjoys watching and participating in these sports, and there is a high demand for live sporting events. Additionally, Fijians are known for their warm hospitality and love for outdoor activities, making sports events an ideal form of entertainment for both locals and tourists.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Sport Events market in Fiji is the increasing number of international sporting events being hosted in the country. Fiji's stunning natural landscapes and favorable climate make it an attractive destination for sports teams and organizers from around the world. This trend has been further fueled by the government's efforts to promote sports tourism in the country, which has resulted in a boost in the number of international visitors attending sporting events in Fiji. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of niche sports events. While rugby and soccer remain the most popular sports in Fiji, there has been a rise in the popularity of niche sports such as surfing, sailing, and beach volleyball. These sports not only attract local participants but also draw international athletes and spectators, contributing to the overall growth of the sport events market in Fiji.

Local special circumstances: Fiji's geographical location in the South Pacific makes it an ideal destination for water-based sports events. The country's pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters provide the perfect backdrop for water sports such as surfing, sailing, and swimming competitions. The government has recognized this advantage and has actively supported the development of water-based sports events, attracting both local and international participants.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Sport Events market in Fiji can also be attributed to the country's strong economic performance in recent years. Fiji has seen steady economic growth, which has resulted in increased disposable income for its citizens. This has led to higher spending on leisure activities, including attending sports events. Additionally, the government's focus on infrastructure development has improved the accessibility and quality of sports venues, further driving the growth of the market. In conclusion, the Sport Events market in Fiji is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for live sports events, the increasing number of international sporting events, the popularity of niche sports, the country's special circumstances for water-based sports, and the underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic performance and infrastructure development.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that has swept across the globe in 2020 not only had a significant impact on public health, society, and the economy as a whole, it also wreaked havoc with the sporting calendar. In a bid to stem the spread of the virus, many professional and amateur leagues across all continents and sports took the unprecedented step to postpone or suspend their seasons on the advice of the CDC to avoid gatherings of large amounts of people.
