Shop Guam Festival 2013 opens the day after the Thanksgiving
holiday, the day that is known in the United States as “Black Friday” and is
considered the start of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is the
perfect day for Guam businesses to showcase their best offerings for incredible
savings and value to visitors who will be shopping for all their favorite
luxury and American brands.
This year, Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) has developed print
and mobile Shop Guam Festival guides in eight languages. The guides are free
and are filled with information on participating vendors, exclusive offers and
events that will be showcased during the festival. Over 160 exclusive offers
can be found in the Shop Guam Festival guide.
The Shop Guam Festival began in 2012 as a global social
media marketing campaign by GVB that aimed to create an interactive shopping
experience highlighting Guam as a modern, fashionable and diverse destination
to shop. The campaign was tremendously successful for the Bureau and generated
a total of $8.4M of media exposure and coverage in 120 days. Building upon this
global success, GVB is looking to further expand this year’s program and
generate more diverse partnerships with travel agents and airlines to develop
Guam shopping packages.
"Retail trade is one of the most important tourism
attractions and economic stimulators for Guam," GVB General Manager Karl
A. Pangelinan said. "It employs thousands of Guamanians and offers
opportunities for a better way of life. The Shop Guam Festival is a GVB
signature event that seeks to position Guam as a world-class shopping
destination, offering luxury to value deals, and showcases the unique Hafa Adai
spirit and the ingenuity of our people's cultural crafts."
