Known for hospitable people, Guam is a destination like no other. Only on Guam you can find star-sand beaches, crystal clear blue skies and world-famous sunsets. These are just a few reasons why millions of tourists have made Guam their top travel choice. Here you can experience thrilling adventure on land or at sea, unravel 4,000 years of intriguing history, shop for the latest fashion and trends, taste famous chicken kelaguen and red rice, or just wind down beneath some shady palm trees.

Known as the oldest civilization in Micronesia, the Chamorro culture of Guam has a deep-rooted respect for family and tradition passed down for generations. Everything from seafaring and fishing techniques, artisanship, weaving, song and dance has been inherited through thousands of years of oral tradition.

In addition to its inviting beaches, elegant hotels, and great bargains, Guam has another vital attraction- its unique culture.

The traditions and customs of Guam’s proud island heritage thrive, despite invading conquerors, wars and epidemics, and changing governments.

Spanish influence may also be seen in the mestiza, a style of women’s clothing, or, in the architecture of Guam’s southern villages. Music is an integral aspect of an island lifestyle, and performances using traditional instruments, such as the belembaotuyan, are highlights of cultural presentations.

Guam is considered the hub of the western Pacific and undeniably Micronesia’s most cosmopolitan destination — a true example of the great American melting pot.
