Solomon Islands is open to leisure tourists right now and arrivals are growing again after COVID. Travel is possible, but visitors should plan around crime in Honiara, occasional unrest, and significant natural-hazard exposure. Banking/cards appear to be functioning normally, and I found no evidence of a current tourist travel ban.
