Talofa Lava from the Division of Sustainable Tourism!

In this issue of the Pacific Sustainable Tourism Newsbeat, we are excited to spotlight Beautiful Samoa! The month of June has been eventful for the country with the launch of its 60th Independence Anniversary celebrations – a milestone as the first Pacific island nation to gain independence. Congratulations Samoa!

Featured in this issue is the Beautiful is Back campaign. Further, we highlight key initiatives undertaken by the Samoa Tourism Authority (STA) with the accommodation and agriculture sector, energy initiatives and border reopening preparations. Learn more about the Aiga Folau and its contribution to the revival and promotion of traditional voyaging, which is essential for both the country and visitors. 

Stay updated with SPTO’s contribution in the plastic repurposing area as well as in the Water, WASH and Climate Virtual Symposium. Keep an eye out for important announcements and upcoming events that may be of interest.

July is internationally recognised by the United Nations as Plastic-Free month and SPTO supports this drive through ongoing monitoring of staff contribution to its Corporate Sustainability Programme.   We encourage you to also take part and together we inspire global change.

Stay tuned as we bring to you updates from Wallis and Futuna in the next monthly issue of the Pacific Sustainable Tourism Newsbeat.
