SkyAirWorld to become tourism developer in the Solomons

Had the pleasure of visiting Anuha Island in the Florida's extensively a few years back. It is quite possibly the prettiest place on this planet and I wish them every success in bringing the place back to its former glory, after local landowners burned the resort down in a disagreement over the right to the profits earned. As long as they have all the stakeholders on side, there is no reason why this shouldn't work well and boost the yield on their RPT services to HIR.

This is from the Solomon Star today:

SkyAirWorld ready to move in for Anuha Tuesday, 18 November 2008 SKYAIRWORLD says it is excited and is prepared to commence work once an agreement is signed with the government and landowners to redevelop Anuha.

Chief Executive Office of SkyAirWorld David Charlton said this after the Cabinet approved his bid to re-develop Anuha Island in Central Province.

“SkyAirWorld is delighted with the news and looking forward to commencing work on the Anuha Island redevelopment,” Mr Charlton said.

“There are great opportunities to develop tourism in the Solomon Islands as a result of this development,” he added.

Mr Charlton is likely to visit Anuha soon as part of inspecting the damaged resort before work starts.
“Yes we will inspect the island prior to the signing ceremony which will be held in Tulagi in the coming weeks. Survey work will commence in the next few weeks,” he said.

Mr Charlton also confirmed that the airstrip on the island will be redeveloped and SkyAirWorld domestic aircraft will service the island during development and when work is completed.

SkyAirWorld will be flying in their booked tourists to Honiara and connect to Anuha on board a caravan plane to Anuha and by sea.

“Yes, SkyAirWorld will look to operate air and sea domestic transfers from Honiara to Anuha Island,” Mr Charlton said.

He said further details of the plan will be provided soon.

He cant run an airline, now he wants to run a resort, in a third world country, he knows nothing about, this is going to be painful, but amusing to watch.

Perphaps SeaWaterWorld could be a good name.
