Hundreds of New Zealand travellers bound for Fiji this week will be unable to receive refunds if they decide not to go because of the flooding in the island nation.
Some insurance companies say they will not cover trip cancellations because flights to Fiji continue to operate and resorts remain open.
The death toll from the downpours is at seven and is expected to rise as relief teams are able to get to some of the cut off villages.
Fijians have been told to move to higher ground before more wet weather arrives later in the week to cause flash flooding.
And despite the nation declaring a state of emergency, the New Zealand government has not issued a travel risk advisory.
There are currently 600 New Zealanders in Fiji and another 500 are due to travel there this week.
