GVB, PIC and friends gather more than 70 bags of trash in Tumon

About 30 volunteers picked up trash along two Tumon beaches, filling up more than 70 bags.

The effort was a partnership between the Guam Visitors Bureau, Pacific Islands Club, with the support of Jin Air and the Korean Guam Travel Association. The group picked up debris and trash along Governor Joseph Flores Memorial Park and Matapang Beach in Tumon.

Jin Air flew a group of its employees from Korea along with the Korean Guam Travel Association assist. PIC sponsored the off-island guests with free lodging and flew some employees from Korea to join the cleanup effort.



“We are thankful for the support of Jin Air and PIC, along with added help from KGTA, to spruce up Ypao and Matapang as we recover from the impact Typhoon Mawar has had on our industry. With so many hands helping each other, we are recovering in record time to welcome visitors back to Destination Guam,” said Carl T.C. Gutierrez, GVB president and chief executive.
