Travellers planning to visit Samoa should consider buying
backpacker travel insurance before heading out.
Etravelblackboard.com reports that Samoa is easily reachable from Australia, with flights available from both Brisbane and Sydney, and involving only five hours in the air. The Pacific destination offers a rich culture and friendly locals, many of whom staff the range of accommodation that peppers the region.
The islands offer spectacular tropical scenery and this is a major pull for backpackers keen to extend their trips beyond the relative familiarity of Australia and New Zealand. Travelling is particularly easy owing to a range of cheap modes of transport that include rental cars and buses. Accommodation ranges from backpacker hostels to three-star hotels and therefore caters for most budgets.
Mainstream tourism is taking a greater hold now on the region, with golf courses and holiday resorts seeking to appeal to higher-end tourists, but the islands remain a Pacific gem.
