As part of PVA marketing efforts in promoting our island as a choice tourist destination with world class diving and eco-friendly tours, through our EU representatives, we invite media people; journalists and writers from various magazines all over Europe. The fam group would then come to Palau and experience all the wonders and activities that we have to offer, not to mention meet key people in the tourism industry and of course, the hospitable Palauan people. They visited the world famous Jellyfish Lake and enjoyed the muddy white clay at the Milky Way and one of them, Mr. Stamm, had a chance to experience world-class diving at some of the famous dive sites. The four of them went on Palau’s one and only Jungle River Cruise located in Babeldaob and Dildoseb “Sense of Wonders” Eco-Tour in Ollei, Ngerchelong State where the tour itself makes you use all of your “senses” while kayaking. Upon departing Palau, the group had nothing, but the best things to say about Palau and wished that they could stay longer.The Board and Management of the Palau Visitors Authority would like to take this opportunity to thank the following companies for their generous support and sponsorships that made this fam tour possible: Continental Airlines, Sam’s Tours, Fish ‘N Fins, Budget Car Rental, Palau Pacific Resort, Palau Royal Resort, Palasia Hotel Palau, Carp Corporation, Dolphins Pacific, Jungle River Boat Cruise, Palau National Communications Corporation, Palau International Reef Center, Belau National Museum, Etpison Museum, Palau Beach Bungalows, Palau Plantation Resort and Dildoseb Eco Tour.
