  • PRESS RELEASE 30 March 2020 SAMOA SET to HOST the NEXT
    PRESS RELEASE 30 March 2020 SAMOA SET TO HOST THE NEXT MISS PACIFIC ISLANDS PAGEANT. In the light of the current pandemic, Samoa would like to help travellers to keep dreaming about their future travel plans, looking forward to post-COVID-19. The annual Miss Pacific Islands pageant will be hosted in Samoa this November, following the win of Miss Samoa 2019, Fonoifafo Nancy McFarland-Seumanu. Miss Samoa and Miss Pacific Islands pageants have been a part of Samoa’s vibrant culture and traditions for over 30 years. Set to take place in Apia in September 2020, Miss Samoa is dedicated to supporting opportunities for young Samoan women. Since 1986, The Treasured Islands of the South Pacific has selected a lucky winner through the pageant, whose duty becomes to represent and promote Samoa both regionally and internationally. The winner also works as a national ambassador for the islands during her year of reign. The winner of Miss Samoa goes on to compete at the Miss Pacific Islands pageant, which serves as a platform to promote the entire Pacific Islands region. Established by the government of Samoa in 1987, the event recognises the attributes, intelligence, and talents of Pacific Islands' women including their contributions to regional affairs. Miss Pacific Islands will take place in Apia this November, following Samoa’s win during the 2019 pageant held in Papua New Guinea last year. Each year, representatives from up to 12 Pacific Islands compete for the crown. Last year’s contestants included Miss Samoa, Miss American Samoa, Miss Cook Islands, Miss Fiji, Miss Marshall Islands, Miss Nauru, Miss Papua New Guinea, Miss Solomon Islands, Miss Tahiti, Miss Tonga, Miss Tuvalu, and Miss Wallis & Futuna.

Conclusion 5. References 1. Introduction Overview of the South Pacific Region The South Pacific is comprised of 20,000 to 30,000 islands which lie south of the Tropic of Cancer. The Pacific Island region covers 20 million square miles of ocean and 117,000 square miles of land, with a population of 8 million people. For the first time, the South Pacific region is facing urbanization, which has brought new challenges to this area. The rates of urban growth in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, both in excess of 6 per cent per annum, are among the highest in the world.1 The islands are commonly grouped into three different divisions; Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. The inhabitants from each of these groups all differ by historical, geographical, language and physical characteristics. Polynesia is located in the south-eastern part of the region, Melanesia is found in the southwest, from the Arafura Sea to the western end of the Pacific Ocean and eastward to Fiji, whilst Micronesia lies in the north. The Pacific islands are classified into a high island group and a low island group.
