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.
