Ministry of Culture and Tourism (MCT) now has control over Bloody Ridge.

Gregory Auta’a, acting director from MCT made the statement whilst speaking at a press conference this week with Solomon Airlines, Tourism Solomons and Travel Solomons about the Flysolomons Peace Marathon 2025 scheduled for August this year at Bloody Ridge and Tenaru area.

He said as of early this year; they have finally evacuated every illegal settler within the boundary at Bloody Ridge.

Moreover, Auta’a expressed that they are very happy about this event because they have also formalized a contract agreement with the community policy at Bloody Ridge.

Henceforth, he added that there is 24-hour security at the whole park and areas outside.

Auta’a, speaking of the event, said this means that those who will participate in the event including international visitors will be able to attend the event and be safe while they are there as the 24-hour security law is now effective there.

Meanwhile, he mentioned that in regards to whatever preparation is needed there, they will inform their partners including the Bloody Ridge policing community.

Auta’a stated that MCT looks forward to be part of the event in partnership with Solomon Airlines, Travel Solomons and Tourism Solomons.
