LOCAL social media influencers have banded together to showcase Saipan in the Japanese tourism market.
Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan Sales & Marketing Supervisor Trixie Sablan shared with Variety on Friday the “first-of-a-kind” four-way collaboration that aimed to make Saipan the focus of attention on Instagram over the weekend.
Sablan said @lealeaguam_jp teamed up with @crowneplazaresortsaipan, and local influencers, @saipan_kaoru and @ayaka_maru.saipan, to showcase the island in the Japan tourism market.
The Insta-live collaboration kicked off from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday, with @lealeaguam_jp at the Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan.
From 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the same day, @saipan_kaoru took the lead in showcasing some of the island’s historical sites and its stunning sunset.
The collaboration continues today, Monday, April 3, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. with @ayaka_maru.saipan taking a leisurely walk to her favorite restaurants and stores in Garapan.
Sablan said, with Japan’s “Golden Week” and summer vacation approaching and with the combined reach of the influencers, the collaboration is a great opportunity to promote Saipan among potential Japanese tourists.
