With an economy that primarily depend on tourism, featuring over 20 large hotels, seven public golf courses and an estimate of over a million tourists per year, Guam is one of the hottest destinations in Micronesia and the Pacific. It is only natural that a popular tourism destination such as Guam should have an exhaustive and compelling online presence, a veritable resource of information that will enable and encourage more visitors to visit the largest island in Micronesia.
Here are our four top online resources for Guam Travel, that offers a veritable corpus of information about our land, its culture, its cuisine, top destinations, shopping districts and places that stay evergreen peaking visitors’ interest every year.
1. Guam on Wiki Travel.
For a first-time traveler/visitor looking for more information on Guam, one of the best places to begin you reading. Specific to the objective of travel, and being a Wiki Page, it brings with it a fair level of authenticity and reliability in the information it carries. And more over it being community curated, it has also has the advantage of having the “freshest” information on the subject of Guam.
2. Guam from The Guam Guide.
Easily one of the best as far as knowing the pulse of Guam, a complete online listing directory of the places that buzz, upcoming events, takes on local cuisine, food hangouts, fine dining – it comes as a comprehensive package in itself. They do also have a popular Youtube Channel called the Guam Guide TV, which is a great way to know the island nation for anyone who plans to travel to Guam. We do wish if they had structured it a little more cohesively and got some order into the haphazard way the ads run through the place.But it shouldn’t matter.
3. All about Guam at Visit Guam
The latest and we would say the most comprehensive resource on Guam, that has been made by the Guam Visitors Bureau, the website is a veritable treasure trove that you can spend hours on, soaking up, learning more on the Jewel of Micronesia. We wish it was also resposive across all devices which would make it the single most powerful resource entity across all media on our island, without a doubt.
4. For the Traveler at Guam Tourist
An old warhorse on the block, if we could say that, which we feel have not decided to move on with the times and yet give you a broad sense of what to expect as you visit Guam on travel or pleasure.
5. Guampedia to “know” Guam
A Community project, it clearly states that its objective is “to create a comprehensive online encyclopedic resource about the history, culture and contemporary issues of Guam.” And what a fantastic initiative it has turned out to be. The founders envision it to be “an important educational and informational resource for Guam teachers and schoolchildren, for Chamorros living away from Guam, for visitors to our island, and for those who want a richer understanding of our island and its people.” We couldn’t agree more.
