Hafa Adai (Hello) and Greetings from the Guam Visitors Bureau!
Congratulations on your first issue of MICE China! We applaud you for the support and assistance your publication provides to MICE planners and buyers that we誶e sure will prove valuable.
As we are a gateway to Asia, Guam provides the ideal location for a myriad of reasons and as [supplier] for the MICE market is of no exception. Guam offers first-class facilities and services that can meet the needs of various MICE activities to ensure a successful program. We have hosted many international incentive groups with successful theme parties that allow participants to take home many fond memories. Our close proximity to the Asian islands and countries provides a practical and sensible travel venue.
The island of Guam has become a haven for tourists. Surrounded by the placid indigo waters of the Pacific Ocean, Guam’s natural tropical landscapes and warm temperatures, imbedded with a people of diverse cultures, Guam has inherited a distinctive personality that sets her apart from our neighbors and makes it the perfect getaway of beauty and interest. Guests who come to Guam will be enchanted by the hospitality of the islanders who are accommodating to guests who show a genuine interest in their home and culture. Guam is an excellent place to explore the riches of the Chamorro culture, the ancestors of the inhabitants, and to take in the natural beauties that abound on the island.
In the Northern end of Guam, guests can gaze upon a plateau of lush green rolling hills that give way to lazy serpentine rivers and cascading waterfalls that mark the southern part of the island. In the central part of our island, white sandy beaches and pristine blue waters are the hallmark of the area and a popular place for our 5 star hotels and resorts. Guam is endowed with a natural tapestry that weaves all the splendors of paradise into one exotic gown that is distinctive and enchanting. However, this is just half of the picture; Guam has so much more to offer.
The island cherishes its history and culture and works hard to preserve that gift, but Guam is also cosmopolitan and progressive. We offer guests the chance to indulge in the luxurious and lose themselves in the riches of a modern island. Guests who arrive on Guam will notice the meticulous attention to detail; we offer a fresh and clean environment free from political unrest or the health issues that have plagued so many Asian islands and countries. In addition, owing to the fact that Guam is an American community, English is readily spoken as the language of choice. Guam is a perfect place for the mid to high-level traveler. With this in mind, we see the China market as a perfect match for all that we have to offer. Guam is situated in relatively close proximity to China, and guests can arrive in only a few short hours whereas to experience similar accommodations and features, guest would have to fly much longer to out of the way destinations. In Guam, we see that the sky is the limit and the future is bright.
With the revitalization program under way in Hagatna (Capitol City), the island’s center for commerce and business as well as an important area for history and culture, Guam is moving forward and modernizing to show to the world that the island is as vibrant as ever before. Guam offers guests a multitude of diversions that range from some of the best scuba and snorkeling this side of the world to golf courses designed by some of the legends like Chi Chi Rodrigues, Arnold Palmer and by the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus. In addition, guests can explore Pleasure Island that has become one of the islands most popular streets for shopping, dinning, and drinks. Guam also enjoys highlighting its historic and cultural significance by offering tours to some historic places with knowledgeable guides. When all these activities are combined, guest will be hard pressed choosing what to do when they visit Guam.
It is through personal experience you will gain a true appreciation of Guam and so I encourage your visit here. Thank you for considering us as a potential MICE destination.
We look forward to seeing you on Guam “America in Asia.”
