60 Japanese travel agents to take part in NMI tour
The Marianas Visitors Authority will host approximately 60 key travel agents and media for the upcoming Marianas Tourism Academy. The agents will be from Sapporo, Niigata, Sendai, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Okayama, Hiroshima and Fukuoka Japan. The agents and media will be in the CNMI on Oct. 22 - 25.

This program provides travel industry affiliates with an educational environment and the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the attractions, activities and facilities on the islands. The Marianas Tourism Academy is a positive marketing tool to increase visitor arrivals through proactive awareness programs.

“We look forward to having these key travel agents and media from Japan in the CNMI,” said MVA managing director Perry Tenorio. “Japan continues to be our No. 1 source market in visitor arrivals and we look forward to having these agents get a firsthand experience of our islands. We look forward to them sharing the beauty of our island paradise with their clients.” (MVA)
