The territory's industrial base is limited, with the economy primarily focused on tuna fishing and processing, government services, and a small but growing tourism sector. Despite its remote location, American Samoa has potential in expanding its tourism and leveraging its unique cultural heritage.

American Samoa's economy heavily relies on the tuna canning industry, which is a major employer in the region. The territory also benefits from financial assistance from the United States. The culture of American Samoa retains traditional Samoan customs, arts, and crafts, which are evident in the residents' way of life, ceremonies, and communal activities.
