Visit Solomon Island

Tagio tumas fo welkam mi lo Solomon Aelan 🇸🇧🤝🇦🇺

Over the past two and half years, I’ve visited all nine provinces, experiencing 🇸🇧’s wonderful cultural diversity and the richness of its families and communities at first hand. Happy 44th Independence Day!

A memorial in Honiara (now 10 years old) commemorates 🇸🇧 coastwatchers and scouts who served with the Allies during WW2. John Keenan, Royal 🇦🇺 Navy, knew the score: ‘Without local help I don’t know what we would have done; we wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes.’ 🇦🇺🤝🇸🇧🤝🇳🇿🤝🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

COVID-19 has belted the tourism sector around the 🌏. 🇸🇧 has so much to offer tourists. Through Strongim Bisnis, the 🇦🇺 Pacific Training Coalition and our infrastructure program, 🇦🇺 is helping 🇸🇧 to bounce back and develop its wonderful tourism potential. – at Solomon Islands

Kolombangara, an extinct volcano, towers 1770 metres above the sea in Western Province. Here it is from dawn to dusk, another reminder of the spectacular natural beauty of 🇸🇧. On the other side of the COVID pandemic, tourism must play an important role in the economic recovery.
