Tourist operators in Solomon Islands are suffering the effects of the country's perceived instability.

One resort owner, Grant Griffiths, says it is an ongoing challenge and while tourist numbers are getting better, a lot more marketing is needed.

Mr Griffiths is the owner of Fatboys Resort, which is now for sale.

The resort was undamaged during the recent tsunami that hit the western part of Solomon Islands in April.
