About the Market Development Facility 

The Market Development Facility (MDF) is an Australian Government funded multi-country initiative which currently operates in Fiji, Timor-Leste, Sri Lanka and has expanded into Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. MDF is funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT). It is implemented by Palladium in partnership with Swisscontact. In Fiji, MDF focuses on developing a diversified, inclusive and sustainable tourism industry, as well as improving the competitiveness of Fiji’s high-value agriculture sector and urban industries.  

Background 

MDF, in partnership with the Fiji Bureau of Statistics (FBoS), is supporting the sustainable growth of Fiji’s yacht tourism sector. Robust, timely, and reliable data is critical for evidence-based planning, policy development, and investment decisions in the nautical tourism segment. Current yacht tourism data systems face challenges related to data consistency, coverage, analytical use, and reporting. To address these gaps, MDF and FBoS will commission technical expertise to strengthen Fiji’s yacht tourism data system and build enduring institutional capacity within FBoS to sustainably collect, analyse, and disseminate yacht tourism statistics.  

The commissioned technical expertise will build on the 2018 Economic Impact of International Yachting in Fiji study, which established a baseline of the sector’s economic contribution. The study will be used as a key reference to examine identified challenges and data gaps, assess whether existing tools, methodologies, and frameworks remain fit for purpose, and inform how future yacht tourism statistics can be systematically produced through the Fiji Bureau of Statistics (FBoS).
