“We are excited that Air Busan is bringing more visitors to Guam, which ties in well with our Tourism 2020 plan. Korea has seen significant growth as Guam’s second largest market in recent years and we definitely want to keep up that momentum with airline partners like Air Busan,” said GVB General Manager Nathan Denight. “As we continue to promote our Chamorro culture and what visitors can do only on Guam, GVB and our industry partners remain hard at work to grow and diversify arrival numbers in all our visitors markets. We hope our guests have a great time in our island paradise and we encourage everyone to visit Guam into 2016.”
