Solomon Airlines CEO: Tourism momentum is slow

14 June, 2019

Solomon Airlines CEO Brett Gebers reported "momentum is slow" for tourism to the Solomon Islands as the country lacks "an injection of new [tourism infrastructure] projects like in other Pacific countries" (smartaviation-apac.com, 07-Jun-2019). According to Mr Gebers, international arrivals are "quite stagnant" at around 27,000 p/a, of which 7000 to 8000 are tourists.
