Economically motivated.
September 29, 2009 (which was the 30th of September in other parts of the world before Samoa changed dates) was the date the tsunami struck Samoa, and that is why every anniversary will always be a sad and mournful day for Samoa.
Samoa skipped a day in order to align their local date to correspond to that in nearby island groups, and international trading partners such as Australia and New Zealand. Samoa, near the International Date Line, "moved to the west of the IDL" becoming UTC +13 (*) instead of UTC -11. The country adopted the later day of locations west of the IDL, causing the 29th of December to be followed by the 31st of December (since the 30th was underway around the globe when it became the 31st at the IDL). The nearby islands of American Samoa remain at UTC -11, east of the IDL. * This is an artificial time zone since no location can actually be more than half of the globe (UTC +12) from the Prime Meridian. Kiribati is the easternmost island group that uses IDL-west dates, choosing a time zone of UTC +14.
