The Samoa Tourism Authority applauds the South Pacific Broadband Company on the successful launch of the Discover Samoa App – a new platform that provides visitors with immediate access to information about local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and a wide range of hospitality services.

Whether planning a visit or exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Samoa, this app serves as an essential guide to the experiences our islands have to offer.

The Fugalei Market is now operating 24 hours a day, a significant development that has garnered strong support from the small business vendors. This move aims to provide the community with continuous access to shopping opportunities, fostering greater business and economic activities while better meeting the needs of the public.

Samoa Tourism Authority proudly extends its heartfelt congratulations to Sinalei Reef Resort and Spa on the remarkable occasion of its 30th anniversary. This milestone celebration brought together close friends, family members, and esteemed representatives from the business community, including government officials, all gathered to honour the legacy of hard work and dedication that owner and director, Tuatagaloa Joe Annandale, alongside his family, has contributed to this iconic establishment.

STA is delighted to announce the launch of the newly designed website for Falealupo Beach Fales, showcasing the exceptional beauty of the beachfront accommodation.

Located on the picturesque western coast of Savai’i, Falealupo Beach Fales offers a tranquil and authentic Samoan island experience. The traditional Samoan fales are expertly crafted to reflect the rich culture and heritage of Samoa, while also providing modern conveniences for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

With warm waters and uncrowded coastlines, the islands present an exceptional environment for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts alike. The largely untouched lagoons, characterised by shallow, crystal-clear waters, enhance the learning experience and create a profound connection with the surrounding marine life, from vibrant reef fish to graceful turtles and rays.

According to the Czech Statistical Office, Prague recorded 8,271,962 visitors last year, drawn by highlights including Dan Brown connections and its renowned Christmas markets, as demand shifts towards higher-quality services

Prague ranked among last year’s most sought-after Christmas destinations, according to the latest data. “I am delighted that our capital continues to attract visitors with its unique atmosphere,” said Tomáš Slabihoudek, the city councillor for culture and tourism. “With this popularity comes responsibility. We must take a strategic and sustainable approach to managing peak visitor numbers during the festive season, ensuring visitors can enjoy the city while preserving the quality of life for local residents.”

Figures from the Czech Statistical Office show that visitor numbers rose by 3% year on year compared with 2024. Germany remained the largest source market with 981,817 arrivals, followed by the United States (507,117) and the United Kingdom (500,645). Growth from Asian markets also continued, accounting for more than 12% of all arrivals, supported by the gradual restoration of air connections. South Korea led the region with 185,654 visitors (+9%), while Japan recorded a strong rebound with 65,211 arrivals (+22%). Tourism from the Middle East also increased, including 41,245 visitors from Saudi Arabia (+29%) and 31,162 from the United Arab Emirates (+32%).

Visitor numbers from Israel saw the most significant growth of any market, rising by 37% year on year to 206,816 arrivals. Domestic travellers continued to represent roughly one fifth of total visitors.

The year concluded on a particularly strong note, with Advent 2025 driving demand. Hotel occupancy reached 86% in December — the highest level of the year — according to data from STR.

In 2025, the average room rate in Prague stood just below €123 (approximately CZK 2,989) per night, increasing to around €170 (CZK 4,130) in the city centre. This placed the capital slightly ahead of central Vienna and Budapest, and well above Berlin and Warsaw. In the luxury segment, average rates climbed to €241 (CZK 5,856), reaching €314 (around CZK 7,630) in December. Analysts say these figures confirm Prague’s shift away from being perceived as a budget destination, as it increasingly attracts higher-spending travellers.

“We are seeing strong demand for high-quality accommodation, cuisine and experiences,” said František Cipro, chair of the board of Prague City Tourism. “Prague is thriving in this respect, from recognition in Michelin and Gault & Millau guides to a growing range of experiences. Guided tours inspired by Dan Brown and his latest novel The Secret of Secrets have proved particularly popular. During the festive season, visitors flocked to Christmas markets, sought out high-quality spa experiences, and enjoyed attractions such as the ice rink on Wenceslas Square.”

Visitors currently stay in Prague for an average of 2.3 nights. In response to growing interest in exploring more of the city, Prague has launched the “Enjoy Respect Prague” campaign. “We have long worked to balance the needs of visitors and residents,” Cipro added. “Through both online and outdoor messaging, we highlight the importance of respecting night-time quiet hours, adhering to alcohol restrictions in designated areas, and choosing more sustainable ways to explore the city.”

Prague City Tourism is also encouraging visitors to venture beyond the historic centre, with the long-term aim of distributing tourism more evenly across the capital.
