He replicated that success on behalf of the Solomon Islands in mid-2018 as the driving force behind the move to rebrand Tourism Solomons and launch the extremely well-received and highly distinctive ‘Solomons Is.’ branding.
Mr Tuamoto’s activity on the regional tourism landscape includes the role of deputy chair for the South Pacific Tourism Organization.
In May 2019, he achieved even stronger recognition for the Solomon Islands when he was invited to join the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) executive board.
On the commercial front, his experience included Director of Commercial Operations and a managing director role with the iconic Fiji-based Blue Lagoon Cruises.
He has also acted as a senior consultant to government bodies and major private sector organizations in several countries across the South Pacific region.
This included playing a pivotal marketing role in the 2012 successful re-election campaign on then Papua New Guinea Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill.
A graduate in mathematics and physics from the University of the South Pacific, Mr Tuamoto held an MBA from the University of Wales in Cardiff.
He also completed management studies at Harvard Business School in Massachusetts, the Wharton Business School in Pennsylvania, and the University of Hawaii.
