SIVB will join Retirement and Lifestyle Expo in Sydney in July 2010
Monday, 01 March 2010 15:23
SIVB has opted to join the Australian Retirement and Lifestyle Expo in Sydney after its research showed that the highest age group visiting the Solomon Islands is between 40-60. Retirement is Australia’s fastest growing industry. It is a massive growing consumer market. It is a market which controls over half of the nations household wealth and accounts for a huge proportion of all retail spending, a market which is cash rich, time rich and eager for information on retirement and lifestyle options. It is a market looking for great places to live, holidays to enjoy, money in the bank or invested and the good health to enjoy it all. This is another great marketing opportunity for SIVB and the tourism industry to provide information, products and services to help people plan for retirement and enhance the lifestyle choices of those who have retired.
