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 reported a 125 percent increase in Filipino tourist arrivals in Guam since low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific entered the Philippines-Guam market.
EACH DAY OF EXPLORING a great destination like Guam can be tiring, so looking for energy-giving, palate-satisfying food is only natural. Plenty of restaurants offer dishes that aren’t too familiar to visitors, and in our own little effort, we listed five to consider while vacationing on this island territory.
GUAM IS CONSIDERED the most exotic destination in all of America. Located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, it is one of the five territories with an established American civilian government. As of 2015, it has a population of more than 160,000. Small as that number is, the people of Guam have plenty to be proud of, and some of those things are listed in 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 Filipinos, Guam has become all the more popular recently through the Guam Visitors Bureau’s strong partnership with the media, bloggers, and travelers, aside from the fact that Guam is already home to a number of Filipinos.
