The Guam Visitors Bureau and representatives of Guam’s tourism industry recently completed an overseas mission in South Korea and received an award for the Best Organizing Booth award at the Seoul International Travel Fair, according to an announcement from GVB.
The fair was hosted by the Korea World Travel Fair and is one of the largest international travel fairs in South Korea. GVB and the companies engaged with 37,000 visitors over the four-day event that was held from June 23-26.
“We are proud of Team Guam for all their hard work during this overseas mission to showcase our island and reconnect with the international travel trade as we continue to rebuild the Korea market,” said GVB President and CEO Carl T.C. Gutierrez. “We look forward to welcoming more of our visitors, especially as most flights from Korea to Guam will go daily in the month of July.”
GVB hosted a #GuamAgain GVB Industry Night on June 22 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul.
Board Director Ho Sang Eun, chairman of the Korea Marketing Committee, thanked those in attendance for their support of Guam through the pandemic and described how GVB is establishing strategies in line with new travel trends.
