SAMOA VOLUNTOURISM

SWAP encourages visitors to Samoa to volunteer your services and be a tourist at the same time! (i.e. Samoa Volun-tourism).

The Samoan Web Ambassadors Programme is run by a Samoan Charitable Trust established to teach marketing and to encourage in-bound Samoan tourism, post-Tsunami.

Thumbs Up!We encourage and support bloggers, journalists, videographers, film-makers, travel writers, Internet marketers, business people, investors and other people of influence to come to Samoa and experience this South Pacific paradise.

Our expectation is that they use their professional skills and contacts to educate, inform and generate business on the Internet for Samoa.

Our first Ambassadors arrived in Samoa April 2010 and many since have enjoyed their fun in the sun with us!

Join us in Samoa!

SWAP offers several ways to engage with Samoa:
  • Volunteering - 1-8 weeks no minimum (WWOOFing, HelpXing)
  • SWAP Ambassadors - minimum 6 weeks (Volunteer blogging, photography, marketing)
  • The Samoa Internship - 9-18 months internships (Gap Years and graduates)
  • Investment/Business Partnerships - engage with Samoa and a business level with Club Samoa
More . . .

SWAP can help your business!

Does your business need help with marketing? SWAP assists Samoan businesses.

  • website design & development
  • website redevelopment or upgrades,
  • content updating,
  • blog creation or stories,
