TUMON, GUAM — GUAM might be on your bucket list for shopping, beach time, sightseeing, or cultural immersion, but this band of Filipino devotees came for something different. In the first formal pilgrimage in honor of Saint Pedro Calungsod, they traveled from the Philippines in May 2018 to hear Mass for the Filipino martyr.
ENJOYING GUAM is one thing. Sharing your moments with the world through social media is another. This 2018, Guam’s tourism board launched its travel campaign for the year, #InstaGuam, combining two ideas: showcasing Guam as an instant destination, and using social media to share user-generated content that promotes the island further.
EITHER YOU LOVE diving or you love marathons — most sporty people we know wouldn’t think twice about doing both. Alright, or maybe you just love shopping. Who doesn’t? Whatever you’re into, Guam has it covered.
Balenciaga. Chloé. Givenchy. Marc Jacobs. Rimowa. Name your favorite brand, and you might just snag an awesome deal or two at the 5th Shop Guam e-Festival this year, with exclusive offers from a wide selection of luxury brands and boutiques shoppers love. You’ll also get a shot at winning fabulous prizes, including Guam travel packages worth $1,000 USD.
THE GUAM VISITORS BUREAU has indicated a 125 percent increase in Filipino tourist arrivals in Guam after the low-cost carrier operating between the Philippines and Guam, Cebu Pacific entered the market.
EACH DAY OF EXPLORING in a great destination like Guam can be very tiring so to look for energy-giving, palate-satisfying foods is a natural thing to do. There are definitely a lot of restaurants that offer not too familiar dishes for every visitor. And in our own little efforts, we listed five restaurants to consider while spending your vacation in this island territory.
GUAM IS CONSIDERED as the most exotic destination in the whole of America. Located in the Pacific Ocean’s northwestern part, it is one of the five territories with established American civilian government. As of 2015, the territory has a population of more than 160,000. Though very small in number, the people of Guam have a lot of reasons to be proud of. Some of them are listed on this post.
MORE THAN duty free shopping and its wide array of great beaches, Guam is a very interesting place to be especially this summer. For the Filipinos, Guam has become all the more popular just recently through Guam Visitors Bureau’s strong partnership with the media, bloggers, and travelers alike. That’s of course aside from the fact that Guam is home to a number of Filipinos already.
