Tourism Solomons chief executive calls for additional accommodation

Blue Swan Daily – 5th June, 2019

Tourism Solomons chief executive Josefa Tuamoto reported wholesalers need to increase the number of hotel rooms available from 360 to a minimum of 700 to meet the country’s target of handling 60,000 visitors p/a by 2025 (Radio NZ, 29-May-2019).

Mr. Tuamoto said the main issues are the limited number and quality of rooms in the Solomons, and the “Government is pushing really hard to entice investments”.

Mr. Tuamoto noted a rebranding campaign will further support increasing visitation to the island.
