GVB reports uneven visitor recovery, outlines 10-year Japan tourism strategy

"What we really wanted to show you is fiscal year basis. Total visitors for the fiscal year, 687,706, down only 5% compared to last year and this is in light of a challenging year with three super typhoons, Sinlaku, Bavi, Champi, fewer airline seats, exchange rate making international travel more expensive and the Iran conflict and higher fuel surcharges resulting from that," Valencia said.

NWS: Direct hit to Guam still possible

"The peak intensity: again, we're anticipating a category 4 super typhoon, 150 miles per hour. That could still change, and it really depends on the rate of intensification over the next 3 to 6 hours. Direct hit: again, this is still a possibility. If it shifts northward, we could still see a direct hit. That would be a worst-case scenario for the islands of Guam," Aydlett said.

Typhoon Champi Strengthens to Category 2, 100 mph winds

"A direct hit by Champi as a category-3 typhoon would make this the strongest typhoon to strike Guam since Typhoon Mawar in May 2023. Champi is forecast to be a major typhoon at the time of passage, resulting in significant impacts and destruction to the island. If intensification is more rapid than forecast, it is possible that Champi could be a category-4 typhoon at the time of passage near, or over Guam," NWS Guam said.

'Show me results,' Lujan says to GVB

"This Legislature understood that tourism was struggling. We understood that there are things happening in the world that GVB simply cannot control. Regine Biscoe Lee does not control the weather. She doesn't cause typhoons. She does not control wars and instability involving Iran. She does not control global fuel prices or the fuel surcharges airlines pass on to travelers. And I am not going to sit here and pretend that she does. That is precisely why the Legislature stepped in," Lujan said.
