A resolution could be coming out of the Philippine Senate that could help enhance tourism numbers for Guam, according to a press release.
Del. James Moylan had asked Philippine Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri to help make it easier for tourists from the Philippines to visit Guam. Zubiri filed Resolution No. 776 on Aug. 29. If passed, would require the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs to U.S. President Joe Biden to include the Republic of the Philippines in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.
If enacted, the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program would enhance the tourism numbers for Guam, which would assist in economic activity and job creation, according to the press release.
"This is not only a great opportunity to assist our tourism industry in their rebound but imagine how much easier it would be for island residents to reunite with their family members who reside in the Philippines by simply flying them to Guam without the hassles or costs to obtain a visa," Moylan said.
