Samoa rewards its most beautiful villages
The five most beautiful villages in Samoa were named recently during a Samoa Visitors Bureau National Beautification Program awards ceremony. Each village received a certificate and a check from the beautification committee, which is made up of representatives from various government departments. More than WS$ 40,000 (US$ 11,616) was spent on prizes, the bureau said. Winners were Manase, Leusoalii, Leauvaa, Lalomalava-Safua-Vaisaulu, and Faga-Siufaga. The contest began in the 1990s to help promote tourism.

Samoa enjoys tourism boom
Tourism earnings in Samoa rose significantly mainly as a spill-over effect of the crisis in Fiji and Solomon Islands, says an economic report released by the Central Bank of Samoa. Tourist arrivals jumped by 34 per cent in July 2000, following a 15 per cent increase in June. Earnings expanded to $15.8 million from $11.6 million in June. German visitors increased the most, up by 125 per cent, whereas British visitor arrivals increased by 47 per cent. Several major events such as rugby matches, regional conferences and the International Camel Trophy were switched from Fiji to Samoa.
