Seven tourists in Fiji sickened after consuming resort bar cocktails
Seven foreign tourists were hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar, Fiji an authorities said on Monday.
Two people remained in the hospital, conscious and in stable condition, Fiji’s Tourism Minister Viliame R. Gavoka told reporters on Monday. One person was discharged on Sunday and four others on Monday. Local news outlets reported on Sunday that the cause of the foreigners’ illness was suspected alcohol poisoning, similar to a case in Laos in November in which six tourists — including two Australian teenagers — died after consuming tainted drinks.
“The resort management has assured us that they have not engaged in practices such as substituting ingredients or altering the quality of drinks served to guests,” Gavoka said. The hotel, located on the picturesque Coral Coast of the largest island, Viti Levu, has operated for many years and “holds a strong reputation,” he added.The bar was full of customers on Saturday night and many had ordered piña coladas, the drink consumed by those who became ill, reports claimed.
