Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S01 E08 - Talanoa with Fiji Investment Chair Jenny Seeto - January 30 2026
Q: What are the key ingredients of Fiji's tourism 'secret sauce' that keep attracting investors and visitors?
The three pillars are people and hospitality, the natural beauty of the islands, and resilience/adaptability, including how the sector has integrated community ownership and local leadership to sustain growth over time.
S01 E06 - Talking Sport with Fiji Drua Head of Sales Josefa Vanuaca - January 16 2026
Q: But to what degree do you help the sponsors track the value of their sponsorship?
The Drua started formal sponsorship valuation, using viewership data and category placement to quantify ROI; this has helped renewals and demonstrated that sponsorship value can exceed the initial investment.
S01 E06 - Talking Sport with Fiji Drua Head of Sales Josefa Vanuaca - January 16 2026
Q: Hey Joe, can I just ask a question in terms of the women's rugby and the importance of that from a revenue position?
Josefa explains that the women's team has been commercially valuable through sponsorship and fan engagement, with successes on the field translating to sponsor alignment even if attendance at home games remains a challenge; double-headers help energize the crowd and strengthen sponsor storytelling.

Q: What does BSP Life do and how is its portfolio shaped for the Pacific region?
