Digicel

As the second hotel investment by Digicel Samoa, the ground breaking ceremony was well attended  and led by Reverend Utufua Naseri, Hon Prime Minister of Samoa – Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and Cabinet, business and community leaders and Digicel management including Regional Hub CEO Colin Stone.

As a result, Government will be able to co-finance alongside the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the extension of the fibre optic cable to Vava’u and Ha’apai Islands for an improved telecommunication service in both Island groups. 

This announcement reinforces Digicel’s objective to increase accessibility to and penetration of communications to Tonga – as well as to deliver the economic and social benefits that communications bring.

The cheque was presented to SO Samoa Chairperson, Leta’a Daniel Devoe and Athlete Board Member, Thomas McFall by Digicel Pacific Hub CEO, Colin Stone.

Established in 2009, with accreditation from Special Olympics International, the strong support from Digicel Samoa as well as champions who believed in the movement, the team at SO Samoa has been able to grow in numbers of athletes, coaches and activities which have developed into year-round sports programmes of fun, physical fitness, inclusion and friendship.

Official sponsors of the talented young Samoan since June 2016, Digicel is proud to be in Team Parker’s corner as he prepares for his next big fight in New Zealand on Saturday 6th May 2017.

With the upcoming title defense bout against Hughie Fury, Digicel is also excited to remind customers that one lucky winner will win 2 VIP tickets and an all-expenses paid trip to sit ringside and watch Parker’s first title defense fight up close and personal in Auckland, New Zealand.

Digicel has been looking at entering Samoa’s tourism industry with plans to build a hotel.

Fiaailetoa says it’s a great initiative by Government to focus on tourism by giving local businesses a chance to build the country’s tourism sector.

“The idea is to bring in more flights to Samoa and Digicel having being a very big name in the Pacific, we know we can contribute to that goal, so that’s why we are in talks of building a five-star hotel,” he said.

“Digicel is keen to invest in our tourism by supporting government focuses such as this,” he said.

The outage was caused by issues in connectivity with the satellite link and resulted in impacts on a number of services including data. The Digicel team immediately responded to ensure all services were restored as soon as possible.

The free broadcast of the fight has been made possible through a partnership between Digicel Samoa and Apia Broadcasting Limited, owners of TV3.

Digicel Samoa CEO Rory Condon, TV3 owner Hans Joe Keil and TV3 Managing Director Verona Parker officially announced the partnership on Friday with a sponsorship of the broadcast worth approximately $30,000 tala.
