New resort opens

New resort in Samoa creates 180 jobs

According to RNZI, Taumeasina Island Resort's General Manager, Nathan Bucknall, said 180 full time workers were on the payroll and it can accommodate 340 guests.

"It's very unique for Samoa and I think unique for some parts of the South Pacific as well. We're an island that's five minutes away from the capital city of Samoa, Apia," said Mr Bucknall.

"We'd like to think we are, and we will continue to be, one of the best resorts in the country from a service level perspective."
