• Data correct as of 4.00pm, Friday, 29 October 2021

Having passed the 44,000 ‘followers’ milestone this week, Tourism Solomons’ ‘Visit Solomons Islands’ Facebook page is now the second most viewed in the Solomon Islands.

The ‘Visit Solomons Islands’ page is currently the national tourist office’s key vehicle with which to reach the outside world since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Applauding her team’s efforts in achieving the result, Tourism Solomons Head of Sales & Marketing, Fiona Teama said the social media platform had, and particularly in the 18 month period since the onset of the pandemic, become integral to Tourism Solomons’ international marketing efforts and overall wider engagement with the outside world.

“While we have always maintained a strong presence via several social media channels, nothing comes close to what we have managed to achieve with Facebook,” Ms. Teama said.

“In the last 28 days alone, we have reached over 191,000 people.

“The platform has become vital in our efforts to keep the Solomon Islands top of mind and competitive on the world tourism stage and with that in mind, we look forward to hitting the 50,000 mark in a short time.

“While 44,000 is not huge by global standards, this is huge for us and particularly so given the interaction we are seeing from our audience.”
