Pacific Development Inc. assistant general manager Gordon Marciano said a tourist cannot visit all the attractions and historical sites on Saipan, Tinian and Rota during a three or four-day stay.
But Gordon said the size of the islands is not a hindrance to draw in more tourists.
“We customize tour packages, so when returning tourists book a package, we ask them what places they have visited in the past, we then come up with other places they haven’t been to yet,” he said.
To strengthen their campaign, Gordon said PDI distributed 30,000 guide booklets in Japan to give tourists an idea of where to stay, what to do and even what to eat during their stay here.
The 88-page booklet contains maps, descriptions, basic information and colored photos of hotels, restaurants, bars, tourist attractions, activities that they can indulge in and everything that tourists can use as reference to make their stay here worthwhile.
A sample work of the famous sand painter, the late Albert S. Toves of Rota, is depicted on the cover of the booklet.
Gordon said in addition to the regular attractions that are held each year, the commonwealth could come up with more events to draw more repeat or returning visitors.
Among the major events of the year are the Flame Tree Festival, the Taste of the Marianas and international sport events.
