Mutual respect and recognition; A mutual ‘sense of belonging’; Protection and preservation of Guam’s culture, language,

and lands; Promotion of civilian and military relations; ‘Quality of life’ concerns for both military and Chamorro

families; and Use of shared federal and local resources to support the

mission.

BACKGROUND

History of the Guam’s development of tourism was first acknowledged by local government officials in 1952 with the enactment of Public Law 67.

It was not until 1962, when President John F. Kennedy lifted the security restriction, that Guam’s tourism development would move closer to realization.

 In July 1970, the Guam Tourist Commission was renamed the Guam Visitors Bureau. 

In 1983, Public Law 17-32 (The Guam Visitors Bureau Act) was enacted, reorganizing the Bureau as a public, nonprofit, membership corporation. Public Law 17-65 was passed in 1984, which established the Tourist Attraction Fund (TAF).
