Growing the Solomon Island’s tourism industry is set to be a high priority for the country’s new prime minister.
Manassah Sogavare says that for too long, previous governments have focussed on unsustainable income earners such as logging and mining.
He says they’ve overlooked the potential of the tourism sector and is promising his government will seek to address that.
It’s a promise that’s been warmly welcomed by Josefa Tuamoto.
