AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoTourism Promotion: Guam Visitors Bureau’s 2026 Guam MegaFAM Trade Show brought 200+ international travel partners, media, and influencers to LeoPalace Resort Guam, with nearly 40 local exhibitors pitching hotels, food, attractions, shopping, and culture—plus a spotlight on the Barcinas Sisters’ weaving.

Industry Support: GVB launched a new online grants portal for the Tourism Works Micro-Grant to make applications easier and more transparent. Airport & Visitor Experience: A.B. Won Pat Airport’s board conditionally awarded Avolta (formerly Dufry) the specialty retail and master food & beverage concessions, with a Dec. 21 start date pending final talks. Travel Costs: EVA Air will raise excess baggage fees and other international baggage charges starting Sept. 29, with Guam included in its pricing zone. Weather: A rip-current and shower risk remains for the holiday weekend as a system pulls away from the Marianas.
