Fiji is a small nation looking for big investment and it is working hard to make film and reality television productions a 'major pillar' of its economy.

In the office of the Fiji film commission there is a map of the 330-island archipelago and dotted across it are miniature movie posters and the very recognisable logos of some of the world's most popular reality television shows.

On top of the geographical advantage, Fiji's world-famous tourism industry is experienced at housing, feeding and entertaining large groups of visitors. Both the 41st and 42nd seasons were filmed in Fiji throughout 2021 and were the only international productions to shoot there that year. "They provided continuous support to the production trying to figure out the best procedures … making sure that everything was as safe as it had to be at that very high-risk moment — both when they came in, but [also] at the height of the outbreak," Mr Tenorio said.

The two seasons of Survivor shot in Fiji in 2021 brought in a direct local investment of $25 million.
