The Solomon Islands and the Kingdom of Tonga are hitting the road together for the first time to showcase two of the Pacific’s most authentic and unspoiled destinations.
This landmark roadshow will take place in Sydney (November 18) and Brisbane (November 19), giving frontline travel agents an exclusive opportunity to rediscover the Pacific beyond the well-worn holiday hotspots.
Unlike their more established neighbours, both the Solomon Islands and Tonga remain refreshingly untouched by mass tourism.
That means agents attending the functions will walk away with fresh experiences to share with clients who have already “been there, done that” across the Pacific.
“This collaboration is the first of its kind, bringing together the best of Melanesia and Polynesia in a single showcase,” said Richard Skewes, the Aust/NZ Trade Manager for both countries.
“It’s an opportunity for the trade to learn directly from the people who come from these destinations – and to discover new reasons why their clients should holiday in the Solomons and Tonga in 2026.”
What to Expect
- Destination Updates – Hear directly from tourism leaders and operators from both Tonga and the Solomons.
- Cultural Entertainment – Enjoy a taste of Pacific culture with live performances from local entertainers.
- Prizes & Giveaways – Thanks to generous airline partners, each event will feature exciting prize draws, including return flights with Fiji Airways at every city, Solomon Airlines in Brisbane and Qantas in Sydney.
Event Details
- Sydney – November 18, Paradox Hotel
- Brisbane – November 19, Pullman King George Square
Times: 5:45pm – 8:30pm (approx.)
