Aggie Grey's Lagoon, Beach Resort and Spa, Upolu Island

Frederick Grey - General Manager

Enjoy your time in our resort on the white sandy beach or in the tropical gardens dotted with large shady palm trees also knowing that sustainability efforts are contributing to preservation of environment, respect for the local culture and supporting the community through various initiatives;

1. A breeding ground for the Toloa bird, one of Samoa's rare birds, has been created with a protected sanctuary in the resort grounds, with increases of numbers observed as a result.

2. The resort has its own waste treatment plant, meaning no risk of contamination of the water ways, ground or air.

3. Historic sites of cultural and international value have been protected on the grounds including old burial grounds, original reconstruction of a 100 year old chapel made of burnt coral, and the maintenance of remains of bunkers used by the American forces during the World War II.

4. There are notices in all rooms requesting guests to minimise water usage when requesting clean linen.

5. Use of traditional craftsmen in the creation of carved posts and traditional fales (open houses).}

6. Work experience opportunities provided for local students studying tourism.

7. Support for tours which encourage cultural awareness, interaction with the local community, eco-tourism and destination awareness.

8. Support for local professional groups (e.g. engineers doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers) with the cost of annual conferences.
