The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Fiesta Resort & Spa Hibiscus Hall.
The summit will welcome an estimated 150 students of grade levels 3-12 for a full day of activities about tourism and its importance to the Northern Marianas community. Heidi Ballendorf, president of the Guam Tourism Education Council, will be the keynote speaker.
MVA Chairwoman Marian Aldan-Pierce will also address the students, and well as Dr. Fred Schumann and Hopwood Jr. High School MY WAVE club president Mikee Campo.
“The children are the future of our industry, and we hope the summit will spur the formation of more MY WAVE clubs where students can become actively involved in supporting and benefiting from the industry,” said MTEC Chairwoman Vicky Benavente.
