Chairman KANTILAL TAPPOO has led and then overseen the Sigatoka-based Tappoo group's long involvement in tourism.

First through shopping, in which it remains the leader, and more recently in hotel investments.ﾠ

Once it was able to break the stifling Motibhai monopoly on Nadi International Airport duty free shopping, Tappoo transformed shopping and food and beverage services there.

Tappoo is an innovative major player in tourism, through its shopping and hotel investments and distribution agencies.

Kantilal - now supported by chief executive MADHU TAPPOO - remains an influential tourism figure and industry supporter.
