Tourists For Samoa

From Our Own Correspondent, APIA, June 29.
IT seems that the tourist trade, much neglected in former times in the South Sea Islands, has received a stimulus lately and it is welcome news that several more tourist steamers on South Seas cruises are to make Apia a port of call.
The “Marama” to arrive early in August has been fully booked, and it is intended by the Union Company to send her for a second cruise at the end of August or beginning of September.
The Orient Line sent a representative here recently to find out the possibilities for tourists in Samoa and very probably their tourist steamers will call here in future. As copra, cocoa, and banana prices are still at a low ebb, the money spent by tourists in Samoa is very wel come indeed.
