Samoa's five-star hotel, Taumeasina Island Resort, is a recipient for the 2022 International Travel Awards.
The accolades reward businesses within the travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors, recognising travel locations for their contributions to the industry.
Samoa re-opened its borders on August 1 after borders were closed for more than two years due to the covid-19 pandemic.
The multi-million-dollar Taumeasina Island Resort is owned by three partners from Papua New Guinea.
