4 History Fiji Gateway Hotel is located conveniently across the road from the entrance of Nadi International Airport. The hotel was constructed by Naviti Investments Ltd in 1965 and started trading as Fiji Gateway Hotel. The hotel opened with a total of 103 rooms, comprising of 56 Deluxe Rooms, 42 Standard Rooms and 5 Suites. By mid-1970, the hotel had become one of the most popular hotels in the Nadi area. Later in 1978 the hotel was bought by Burns Philip Ltd and a major renovation to the property was carried out. A new room category was introduced by 1980, some of the Standard Rooms were also refurbished and converted to Family Rooms. In 1983 it was announced that the hotel was sold to Castaway Resorts Fiji Ltd and they renamed the property to Castaway Gateway Hotel. The hotel carried on its usual operations for a few years but faced a major blow on 14th May 1987 when the nation faced two military coups in a single year that caused a slump in tourism. It took the nation 4 years to recover and in 1989 Castaway Gateway Hotel was bought by Reginald Raffe and he rebranded the property to Raffles Gateway Hotel. In addition to taking over the hotel, Mr. Raffe invested money into the property by adding in a conference room and 2 new Suites to the Hotel. After Reginald Raffe passed away in 2014, his children (Reardon, Hannah, Jayson & Barron) decided to rebrand the hotel once again to its original name, Fiji Gateway Hotel, in Today the hotel operates with a total of 95 rooms, a restaurant, boutique shop, bar, gym, tennis court and 2 swimming pools. Fiji Gateway Hotel is valued for its convenient location and provides pre and post accommodation for an island stay, a place of business for corporate travellers or a comfortable room for those who like to book last minute. 3

15 Environmental Initiatives Water Usage Water scarcity is a recognised global problem, and it is certainly a challenge in Fiji. At Fiji Gateway Hotel, we do everything we can to conserve water and there are a number of ways that you can help during your stay with us: Turn off Tap Did you know that keeping the tap on whilst brushing your teeth can use up to 800 litres of water per room per month? Please help us by turning off the tap whilst you are in the process of brushing your teeth. Pool Towels Whilst we allow guests to change their pool towels every day, we recommend that you only return and replenish pool towels once every 2 days. This helps minimise washing and water usage. Room Towels You can help us conserve water by not getting the towels in your room washed every day. If you would like your towels to be changed, please leave them on the floor. Electricity Usage Whilst we are working to implement more environmentally friendly power sources for our future (such as solar), you can help us minimise electricity usage during your stay. Please remember to turn off all the lights, fans and air-conditioners when you leave the room, even if it is for a few hours. Pool Toys If you bring inflatable beach or pool toys to enjoy on your holiday, we ask that you please deflate them, fold them up and take them back with you to your home. Most plastic does not biodegrade and there is a high risk of damaging Fiji s precious environment. 14
