As more and more Pacific countries reopen their international borders business owners in New Zealand and Australia are being urged by the ANZ Bank to see the region as more than a holiday destination.
Samoa was one of the first countries in the world to close its borders to try and keep Covid-19 out of the community.
It reopens next month after well over two years without international visitors.
I am joined by the country head of ANZ Samoa, Bernie Poort and New Zealand's trade commissioner for the Pacific David Dewar.
