Unlike many island resort locations in the South Pacific, American
Samoa has striven to manage its resources and maintain its scenic beauty in the most
pristine condition possible. Zoning is very strictly enforced, and tall high rise hotels
and condominium buildings have not been permitted to be built on the waterfront.
