Pago Pago Information
The Rayvision Song Contest Edition 4 was held in Pago Pago, American Samoa. Pago Pago (/ˈpɑːŋɡɔːˈpɑːŋɡɔː/ Pago-or-Pago-or; Samoan: [ˈpaŋo ˈpaŋo])is the territorial capital of American Samoa. It is in Maoputasi County on Tutuila, which is American Samoa's main island. Pago Pago is home to one of the deepest natural deepwater harbors in the South Pacific Ocean, sheltered from wind and rough seas, and strategically located.The harbor is also one of the best protected in the South Pacific,which gives American Samoa a natural advantage because it makes landing fish for processing easier.Tourism, entertainment, food, and tuna canning are its main industries. As of 1993, Pago Pago was the world's fourth-largest tuna processor. It was home to two of the largest tuna companies in the world: Chicken of the Sea and StarKist, which together exported an estimated $445 million in canned tuna to the U.S. mainland.The total value of fish landed in Pago Pago — about $200,000,000 annually — is higher than in any other port in any U.S. state or territory.

Venue
The Rayvision Song Contest Edition 4 was held at an arena made by the RBU since there is not a sustainable arena for the contest in Pago Pago. The arena was temporary and was built on top of the water to keep the natural beauty alive. The arena held 25,000 viewers and had enough room for everything needed to hold a Rayvision Song Contest edition. This is the only time so far where the RBU has needed to create their own space for the Rayvision Song Contest. The arena was located right off the shore of the Pago Pago Harbor and is the only Rayvision venue to be held over water. The arena this edition was held in has still be unnamed, but is currently called the Rayvision 04 Arena. It is unsure wether this arena will be used again in similar or circumstances or if this is only going to be used for a singular edition.
