Marianas Variety President Amier C. Younis said the program not only highlights the best of what our islands can offer but also encourages healthy competition among businesses.
In addition, he said it is an opportunity for businesses to promote their brands, products and services.
“As we know, many businesses were not fully operational during the pandemic. Now that the economy and travel continue to open up, we want to create an opportunity for businesses to be recognized and showcase their best. It is also an opportunity for community members to show their support to their favorite businesses,” he said.
The Best of the Marianas categories include golf course, barbecue, burger, bar, hotel, pizza, chicken wings, snorkeling spot, sunset spots, and tour site or natural attractions, among other things.
