Much of the Samoan social system is based on status, such as whose fale has the highest roof. The extent of the roof on one's fale's rises above the other fale's in the village depends not only on the status of the owner, but also intertwines with the elaborate social structure that governs the Samoan way of life.
One of the attractions of Polynesia is its diversity. Native peoples of the Pacific are of similar origin with the related languages, customs, and cultures, yet, each is different.
It is still a land where status is more important than material possessions and the only Polynesian culture where the title is more important than the person.
Much of the culture is based on welcoming travelers to our islands, villages and homes. No place in the world is a visitor so lavishly received as in Samoa. We hope that someday, your dreams of visiting the Pacific islands will become a reality, and you will have a chance to share our way of life with us.
Samoa is indeed a place which many people have hoped and dreamed of visiting. In today's world of crowded cities and dwindling beach space, Samoa and it's islands loom ever brighter to anyone who wishes he could travel to such places
