Shop Guam e-Festival, a great tourism experience

The Guam Visitors Bureau goes hi tech and updated in announcing the start of the fifth annual Shop Guam e-Festival (SGF), a world class global campaign aimed at creating an interactive shopping experience for residents and visitors, while highlighting Guam as a modern, fashionable, and diverse destination to shop. This year’s festival starts on Dec 1, 2016 and carries on till Feb 4, 2017.

Started in 2012, the e-festival has been a cornerstone in Guam’s shopping calendar. Last year, Shop Guam Festival attracted over 400,000 visitor arrivals during the campaign period with several participating retailers reporting over $10,000 worth of Shop Guam Festival offer redemptions, totaling a cumulative amount of $ 11.4 million. This festival aims to utilize the IOT (Internet of things) concept and take the idea of Smart tourism to the next level.

The 2016 Shop Guam e-Festival mobile app will also be the first application powered by the Smart Guam System delivering an immersive shopping and visiting experience for Guam’s global customers. This app will be available in six different languages of Guam’s tourism source markets. Going one step further, the printing of coupons shall be stopped and instead a shopping passport shall be introduced to encourage shoppers to use the mobile app. Downloading the mobile app also gives tourists an opportunity to enter into a mobile sweepstakes for a chance of winning monthly shopping prizes.

Days Inn Guam offers great hospitality and while in Guam, book your stay here to enjoy the experience.
