Savaii Samoa Tourism Association
The Savaii Samoa Tourism Association (SSTA) is a passionate and committed group of businesses dedicated to the promotion and development of tourism that is beneficial for the people of Savaii. Incorporated in April 2010, SSTA is a Non- Government membership-based organisation that strives to be the united voice of the tourism and hospitality industry in Savaii.
Of over 50 tourism businesses on the island, SSTA comprises a total of 30 financial members who are largely the accommodation businesses with the remaining members represented by tour and transport providers, attraction site owners and tourism activities operators. The SSTA is governed by a volunteer Executive Committee elected each year by its members in accordance with its Constitution. The Association is funded by annual member subscriptions and small grants received through projects. Its office is based in Salelologa, where the town and the inter-island ferry terminal are located.
