Guadalcanal Province has established its tourism association in a move to strengthen and promote the province’s tourism sector.
The association was formally launched on Wednesday last week, bringing together tourism operators from across the province in a meeting convened by Tourism Desk Officer Jacinta Vagha.
Members were guided through the association’s constitution before proceeding to elect its inaugural executive body, a statement by the Guadalcanal province Wednesday last week said.
The statement said that members elected to lead the association are; Ms Amanda Riniu as President, Ms Debbie Lukisi as Vice President, Ms Cynthia Luza as Secretary, and Mr Stanley Habu as Treasurer.
The executive is further supported by ordinary members Ms Ileen Sulukonia, Mr Joseph Tausuli and Mr Olivera Shannon.
The newly formed leadership team brings together a wide range of experience in areas such as law, travel and tours, local food promotion, accommodation and hospitality.
Meanwhile, following the election, members of the executive expressed their commitment to serving the association with dedication and call on all tourism operators to work together to advance the sector.
GPG media said they also highlighted plans to roll out activities within the year aimed at promoting Guadalcanal as a vibrant and attractive tourism destination.
The establishment of the association marks an important step forward for the province, reflecting a shared commitment to harness Guadalcanal’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and hospitality for sustainable tourism development.
The initiative aligns with the Guadalcanal Provincial Government’s policy on good governance under the leadership of Premier Willie Atu.
