Fiji Summer Time (FJST) operates at UTC+13 during the daylight saving period in Fiji, typically running from November to January. FJST advances clocks one hour ahead of Fiji Standard Time (FJT, UTC+12) to make better use of evening daylight, supporting tourism and energy savings across the islands. Sometimes referred to as "Fiji Daylight Time," FJST helps align local schedules with longer summer days.
Importance and Global Use of FJST
Fiji Summer Time (FJST) has traditionally been valuable for boosting the tourism sector, supporting outdoor events, and promoting energy efficiency by extending daylight during evening hours. It allowed local communities, hotels, and tourist attractions to operate more effectively in peak travel seasons, enhancing the overall visitor experience and benefiting the economy.
Globally, FJST also supported better alignment with countries observing daylight saving in the Pacific, including New Zealand and parts of Australia. This synchronization made it easier for Fiji to manage international flights, maritime schedules, and regional trade partnerships, strengthening its role as a Pacific tourism and business hub.
