Issues that hinder recognition of SI as a Tourist Destination
In the presenters view
Expensive Cost of Air Travel compared to cheap airfares to other tourist destinations (both
International and Domestic)
Lack of rooms availability in Honiara (which drives the daily rates) and lack of
accommodation facilities in other provinces and the poor state of the facilities
Available facilities only cater "business tourist" and shortage of holiday or recreational type
accommodation facilities
The available recreational type accommodation facilities are not strategically located and/or
commuting to and from these facilities are cumbersome and expensive
Lack of adequately skilled service operators and service staff not up to standards
Lack of focus in promoting "Go to" places in Solomon Islands
Non attractiveness of the industry for investors due to lack of policy support and encouraging
framework
Tourism not listed as a high priority in the country's GDP growth agenda?
