Guam this week greeted the millionth visitor for calendar year 2012 when Korean Hyung Suk Kim, his wife Jae Kyung Kim and their daughter Da Wool Kim landed at its airport.

Unaware that he was the millionth visitor, the Kim and his family were surprised and pleased to learn on their entering the Arrivals area that they were being honored as the one-millionth visitor to Guam.

On average Korean visitors vacation on Guam for five (5) days and spend on average around $425.00 a day. Preliminary arrivals from Korea for Calendar Year 2012 show a 14.5% increase over the same period (January 2012 through September 2012) or 127,650.

“We’re only at mid-October and we’ve already welcomed our millionth tourist,” Acting Governor Ray Tenorio said. “I hope this is a sign of a record-breaking year in tourism. This industry is strong because of the thousands of men and women who work in every profession of hospitality. Governor Calvo and I thank all the housekeepers, waitstaff, flight attendants, cooks, helpers, front desk attendants, supervisors, managers, clerks, entertainers, bartenders, bussers, concierges, HR and marketing professionals, accountants and account clerks, lifeguards, and everyone who keeps the tourism industry going. This milestone is a sign of great things to come.”
