The US island territory of Guam is a popular tourist destination, loved for its natural environment year round...and it’s got a lot to offer shop-a-holics. Lee Hee-jung reports.

Guam, located in the west Pacific, is a relatively short 4 hour flight away from Korea. Coral beaches line the island, making for a breathtaking sight.

Thanks to its mild climate, tourists can enjoy the island’s beaches and watersports activities throughout the year.

Guam is also known to be safe and family friendly.

Compared to Jeju, which seems crowded with local and Chinese tourists, it’s quieter in Guam, so I feel more relaxed.
김지현, 권순오 한국관광객
"제주는 국내 관광객들과 중국관광객들이 많아서 사람이 많다라는 느낌이 드는 반면에 괌은 한가한 느낌이 들어서 좀 더 편한것 같아요."

Guam is not only a great travel destination for beach-lovers and watersports-enthusiasts… it’s a shopper’s paradise.

With duty-free status across the entire island, tourists can buy a wide variety of American goods at low prices. Although Guam is not a US state, it is US territory. And the number of visitors to the island continue to grow each year.
In 2014, over 1.3 million tourists visited the island.

Japanese vacationers made up the largest proportion of visitors to Guam at 810,000 followed by Korean tourists at 300,000. The number of Chinese tourists stood at a mere 16,000 last year but is expected to rise significantly this year as China and the US have agreed on a visa extension for Chinese tourists.
