About the Tourism Works Program
The Tourism Works program is vital to the Guam Visitors Bureau's local community branding program. The objective of the program is to inform, build, and involve our diverse local community about how tourism works for us all and how we have a responsibility to contribute to making Guam a better place to live, work, and visit.The Tourism Works campaign continues to play a key role in educating our local community on the importance of tourism and how it affects their everyday lives. Formalized in 2017, the Guam Visitors Bureau continued the extensive marketing campaign ranging from a weekly newspaper column, weekly tourism profile television feature, television and radio commercials and further expanding the community outreach program “tourism talk tour” in classrooms and among youth organization events.
