O’Neill said they are very thankful that SINPF has been able to given them the opportunity to invest with them in this iconic hotel in Solomon Islands.

Moreover, he stated that tourism is a very big industry globally.

O’Neill said from the reports they are reading and from experts who are making studies about tourism globally, there are about 300 million jobs for tourism industry globally as we speak today.

“That means that over the next decade, one in every three jobs that’s available globally will be in tourism.”

O’Neill expressed that there is huge potential in Solomon Islands.

He believes that with all the necessary natural resources and beauty of the people of Solomon Islands, this can help develop the tourism industry over the coming years.
