Samoa Visitor Survey
Samoa International Visitor Survey January – June 2018 Prepared for Samoa Tourism Authority by New Zealand Tourism Research Institute Auckland University of Technology www.nztri.org October 2018 Acknowledgements NZTRI would like to acknowledge the Samoa Tourism Authority (special mention to Kitiona Pogi, Dulcie Wong Sin, Jeddah Leavai and the broader email collection and processing team) and Samoa Immigration for their support in this ongoing research. This report was prepared by Simon Milne, Mindy Sun, Jeannie Yi, Caroline Qi, and Birthe Bakker. ii Executive Summary This report focuses on the characteristics, expectations and expenditure patterns of international tourists who visited Samoa by air between 1 January and 30 June 2018. The data presented is collected from an online departure survey (http://www.samoasurvey.com/). There were 3,297 individual respondents to the survey (5 % of visitors during the period) - representing a total of 5,899 adults and 1,501 children in terms of local expenditure analysis (the latter figure equates to 11% of all visitors during the period – based on national visitor arrival data from the Samoa Bureau of Statistics). The initial survey period of 1 January and 30 June 2018 acts as a pilot to refine and develop the survey further. During this survey period we registered good responses from all markets with the exception of visitors from American Samoa, this market has therefore been removed from the current analysis. The survey invitation has now been amended to specifically encourage, visitors from American Samoa to complete the survey and the market will be incorporated in future reporting. Three in five (60%) of visitors surveyed come from New Zealand with 23% coming from Australia. -

It provides a snapshot of the information collected from the Population Questionnaire and some highlights of the Housing Questionnaire. It also provides the final count of the population of Samoa in November 7th 2016 by statistical regions, political districts and villages. Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused. -

Samoa, 2017/2018
DENGUE SEROTYPE 2 OUTBREAK IN SAMOA, 2017/2018. Ministry of Health SITREP nO.9 18th March 2018 Outbreak overview. The situational analysis of the dengue fever outbreak in Samoa as shown in the graph below portrays a continual decrease in the number of cases over the past 10 weeks. The cumulative total as of March 18th is 3,255 with a national attack rate of 16.6 per 1,000 population. Dengue fever continues to spread geographically mostly in the Apia Urban and North West Upolu regions. Majority of those af- fected are 5 - 9 year olds which makes up 31% of the total cases. There has not been any dengue related deaths reported hence the total dengue-related mortality remains at 5. Dengue case definition: An acute fever with any two of the following signs and symptoms: joint & muscle pains; maculo- pappular rash; severe headaches; nausea & vomiting; pains behind the eyes; bleeding and leucopenia. Time: dengue epi-curve Person: age group & sex Sex No of Cases % Female 1570 48% Male 1685 52% Total 3255 100% Control measures continues... SOURCE REDUCTION remains highly recommended for control of mosquito breeding sites during this rainy season. Other usual prevention methods to avoid illness is also advised. An integrated response has seen communities and organizations work with MOH to use chemical spraying in their respective locations. MOH Samoa continues to advocate and implement control measures for mosquito–borne diseases. Grassroots groups involved in vector control are mobilizing the affected communities to actively participate in source reduction and clean-up campaigns. Vector surveillance and control efforts continue. -

LINDQUIST New York THE CANADIAN CHRISTMAS STAMP OF 1898, THE EPITOME OF MODERN IMPERIALISM.

Copyright, 1948 By LOWELL RAGATZ PRJ NTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA To CauKo and PANCHO LIANG, Dear Friends of Long Ago FORE"\\TORD The period from the Fashoda Crisis to the outbreak of the great World War in 1914 has been generally neglected by specialists in European expansion. It is as though the several colonial empires had become static entities upon the close of the 19th century and that nothing of consequence had transpired in any of them in the decade and a half prior to the outbreak of that global struggle marking the end of an era in Modern Imperialism. Nothing is~ of course, farther fro~ the truth. I have, therefore, suggested to my former student and present colleague in the field of colonial studies, Professor Lowell Ragatz~ of The George Washington University in the United States, that he write a small volume filling this singular gap in the writings on modern empire building. -

A country’s access to the global economy reflects a level of socio-economic development and political power. It is also reflective of the country’s history of globalization. This research uses an analysis of past and current forms of colonization that continue to influence cultural and ideological practices, specifically practices regarding food. -
Samoan Ghost Stories: John Kneubuhl and Oral History
SAMOAN GHOST STORIES John Kneubuhl and oral history1 [ReceiveD November 11th 2017; accepteD February 26th 2018 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.12.1.06] Otto Heim The University of Hong Kong <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: HaileD as "the spiritual father of Pacific IslanD theatre" (Balme, 2007: 194), John Kneubuhl is best known as a playwright anD a HollywooD scriptwriter. Less well known is that after his return to Samoa in 1968 he also devoteD much of his time to the stuDy anD teaching of Polynesian culture anD history. The sense of personal anD cultural loss, which his plays often dramatise in stories of spirit possession, also guiDeD his investment in oral history, in the form of extenDeD series of radio talks anD public lectures, as well as long life history interviews. BaseD on archival recordings of this oral history, this article consiDers Kneubuhl's sense of history anD how it informs his most autobiographical play, Think of a Garden (1992). KEYWORDS: John Kneubuhl; Samoan history; concept of the va; fale aitu - - - - - - - John Kneubuhl is best remembereD as a playwright, “the spiritual father of Pacific IslanD theatre,” as Christopher Balme has calleD him (2007: 194), a forerunner who calleD for “Pacific plays by Pacific playwrights” as early as 1947 (Kneubuhl, 1947a). Also well known is that he was a successful scriptwriter for famous HollywooD television shows such as Wild Wild West, The Fugitive, anD Hawaii Five-O. Less well-known, however, is that after he left HollywooD in 1968 anD returneD to Samoa, he devoteD much of his time to the stuDy anD teaching of Polynesian anD particularly Samoan history anD culture anD became a highly regardeD authority in this fielD. -

Seawalls in Samoa: A Look at Their Environmental, Social and Economic Implications Sawyer Lawson Project Advisor: Espen Ronneberg Academic Director: Jackie Fa’asisila S.I.T. Samoa, Spring 2011 Abstract: This study concerns the environmental, economic and social implications of seawalls in Samoa. Information for this study was gathered using a combination of secondary sources and primary sources including interviews, surveys and participant observation. Given the cultural and economic importance of Samoa’s coastline and the fact that seawalls, which already occupy much of Samoa’s coast, are becoming more abundant, it is important to understand the implications of building them. The researcher found that partially due to climate change and sand mining, Samoa’s coastline has become increasingly threatened by erosion and coastal retreat. -
