Guam partners with Palau officials to expand tourism

The Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) and Guam International Airport Authority (GIAA) paid a visit to the President of the Republic of Palau as well as the Australian ambassador to Palau in Koror last Thursday. 

The visit was intended to strengthen ties with Palau and seek air routing opportunities for visa waiver countries like Taiwan, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and other potential travel markets to Guam.

The Guam delegation met with Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. to discuss shared goals in tourism and sustainability among the islands. 

Australia ambassador to Palau Richelle Turner offered detailed information on the travel from Australia and Papua New Guinea to Palau. The ambassador plans to visit Guam this April.
