Job description

Terms of Reference: Tourism Promotion and Strategy Consultant to Expand Access to Markets for Strongim Bisnis Partners

This is an assignment for Strongim Bisnis, an initiative of the Australian Government in Solomon Islands.

Dates & duration: September - January

Location: Honiara, Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands)

Reports to: Dina Karic– Partnerships Director

Intervention / area of focus: Tourism

Background to the Strongim Bisnis program

Solomon Islands Australia Partnership’s Strongim Bisnis program is an economic development initiative to increase economic opportunities and participation for people and businesses in Solomon Islands.

Recognising that Solomon Islands has a small consumer market and economy, dispersed population, and high cost of doing business, Strongim Bisnis identifies and analyses specific sectors that have a high growth potential and can create new employment and income generation opportunities.

We facilitate strategic partners (including businesses, government, civil society, and associations) in those sectors to address the root constraints to growth and inclusion (Women, Youth and People living with disabilities) through innovative solutions.

Background to the Assignment

Strongim Bisnis is partnering with tourism accommodation providers and tour operators to support the growth of the Solomon Islands tourism sector. The program is working with partners in key geographic hubs — including Munda, Gizo, Auki, and Marovo Province — to strengthen the capacity of local tourism businesses and improve their accommodation offerings. At the same time, Strongim Bisnis supports local tour operators in enhancing their diving and surfing experiences and facilitates connections between market actors to co-create new tour products.

Despite this progress, Strongim Bisnis partners continue to face limited access to new markets. This is due to high promotional costs, limited understanding of target audiences, and a lack of effective marketing strategies. To address these challenges, Strongim Bisnis plans to support its partners in improving market access by developing targeted promotional action plans.

These action plans will identify the most effective promotional channels, strategies to reach target customers, and methods to build partnerships with tour operators, diving clubs, and individual travellers.

Objective of the Assignment

To develop a practical and cost-effective action plan to improve market access and promotion for Strongim Bisnis tourism partners.

Scope of Work

The Consultant will develop a tailored action plan and provide strategic advice on promotional approaches based on identified target audiences and current tourism promotion trends. The scope of work includes:

1. Promotion Strategies and Action Plan

• Approaches to reach individual travellers, regional tour operators, specialised tour operators focused on diving and surfing, and small cruise operators.
• Strategies may include participation in relevant trade fairs, inbound familiarisation (FAM) trips, collaboration with niche travel influencers, and other promotional methods.
• Engage with Frigate Island Resort, a newly opened five-star resort in the Solomon Islands, to understand their current promotional strategy; and identify potential areas for collaboration between Frigate Island resort and the program.
   

2. Geographic Hub Promotion Plans

For each geographic hub, the Consultant will:

• Develop an action plan to boost the visibility of the destination.
• Provide recommendations on how local businesses can collaborate to promote their area in a cost-effective and sustainable way jointly.

While carrying out the assignment, the Consultant will:

• Visit all Strongim Bisnis tourism partners to assess their current promotional activities.
• Visit Solomon Airlines and Tourism Solomons to identify areas of collaboration
• Assess partner capabilities, resources, and readiness to implement new strategies.
• Conduct a validation workshop with Strongim Bisnis partners to present and gather feedback on the draft action plan.
• Incorporate partner feedback into the final action plan.

• If FAM trips are recommended and approved, the Consultant will be responsible for identifying and contacting relevant tour operators to gauge interest.

   

Deliverables and schedule

The assignment will be completed in September to December 2025. Completion of the assignment is conditional upon approval of the deliverables by Strongim Bisnis.

The final action plan will include:
