In a radio New Zealand news bulletin today, the South Pacific Tourism Organisation said Covid-19 has led to many nations and territories in the region having to reset their tourism plans, and I quote
The organisation, which has 20 government members, is the mandated representative for tourism in the Pacific.
Its CEO Chris Cocker says the last two years has seen zero-return on tourism for the region.
But he told Moera Tuilaepa-Taylor in Palau that Covid-19 has forced many of its government members to re-evaluate their tourism plans.
End of quote.
Commnent
Of course we all want to see the Solomon Islands recover its tourist arrivals as soon as possible, but current numbers of Covid-19 infections in the country are concerning and one wonders how the government has evaluated it re-opening plans and strategies to see a return of travelers?
Yours sincerely
