Sports Tourism
Sports tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry.
AquaCulture
GovGuam initiated its support for aquaculture in the early 1970’s. First commercial operation produced freshwater eels for export to Japan in the 70’s and into 80’s. Local aquaculture provided bait for tuna purse seiner fleets in the 80’ and into the 90’s.
Film Industry
U.S. & International Film markets are looking for new “unshot” locations to shoot motion pictures, TV shows or commercials, and still production events. Additionally, in light of global security issues, production companies are looking for scenic locations safe for visiting crews, and feature supporting service infrastructure and business friendly environments. Directors, specifically, are looking for locations that allow for shooting a variety of scenes in one location.
Kottura
KOTTURA has a threefold project focus; the first being Economic Development, the second is
Cultural Preservation and the third being Artistic Accessibility. The KOTTURA proposal will be the
first project of its kind for Guam and will be a flagship for The Guam Economic Development Authority as part of the Authority’s strategy for continued economic development and
economic diversity. Guam’s downtown area will be a cultural destination not only for our
community but for the millions of visitors who come to Guam seeking family friendly and
educational attractions, specifically for information about our unique heritage and history.
