It’s Now Easier to Visit American Samoa

When making your bucket list of national parks you’d like to visit, you might be tempted to overlook National Park of American Samoa due to its remote nature alone. American Samoa sits in the South Pacific, near destinations like Fiji and the Cook Islands. In fact, it’s faster to get there from Australia than it is from the West Coast of the United States.

However, the American Samoa Visitors Bureau is hoping to attract more visitors to the territory moving forward. The new American Samoa Pocket Guide gives you all the details you need to plan an upcoming trip, and both the pocket guide and visitors bureau website will point you to a likewise new centralized booking platform where you’ll find offerings from more than 50 tour, rental and accommodations providers.

“American Samoa has always been one of the U.S.’s best-kept secrets,” said Taimalelagi Minnie Tuia, executive director, American Samoa Visitors Bureau. “This new platform makes our hidden gem just a little easier to find. We’re not a Sheraton or Hilton kind of destination; this is a place for curious travelers who want a rare window into a traditional way of life that still honors its language, customs and people.”
