Kazakhstani tourist companies develop tourism in Northern Mariana Islands

Astana, November 06, 2009, Khabar – The government of Northern Mariana Islands intends actively develop relations with Kazakhstan in sphere of tourism. Issue of prolonging of visa-free regime for the citizens of our country is discussed now. Those people, who visited these tropical islands, fully appreciated comfortable, democratic prices and friendliness of local people, Chamorro. The Northern Mariana Islands are called as islands of treasure, exotics and quiet. Each of islands, Saipan, Tinian and Rota has its own pearl. For example, Saipan is included into Guinness Book due to most stable temperature in the world. It is +27 all the year round. White sand beaches, quiet and coral reefs embrace most part of Saipan island, capital of Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Economy is mainly based on tourism. Over 450 000 tourists visit these unique islands with rich history and amazing fauna. Korean, Japanese and Russian tourists like to hold their vacations here. Kazakhstani tourist companies visited these islands and studied this new route.

Aigul Satzhanova, director of “Helios” tourist firm:
- The coasts of Northern Mariana Islands have a blue flag of cleanness. We managed to visit Tinian and Rota islands and we saw blue clean and wonderful places. All the conditions are created for excellent rest here. The hotel prices are democratic and I think the medium class will be able to buy a tourist package for Saipan and they will like it.

Traveling by ATV through the jungle, sightseeing tour of the sights of the island, diving, acquaintance with fascinating underwater world on submarine. Everyone will find leisure for the soul on the island of Saipan. After an active rest people can go to a romantic cruise to admire the sunset, then relax in the spa and get acquainted with the ancient culture of the local people of Chamorro during a tropical show. Nowadays the islands live with a mixture of ancient customs, standards of Western and Asian societies, which primarily affects the food, music and the charm of holidays.

Perry Tenorio, director of the Department of Tourism of Northern Mariana Islands:
- Although the Mariana Island is US territory, citizens of Kazakhstan have visa-free regime, you must have a permit. Now we negotiate and prepare documents in order to extend for Kazakhstan visa-free regime. It is very important to develop relations with Kazakhstan, country with a stable economy.

In 2006, the Marianas archipelago, and Mariana Trench, depth of which amounts to 11 thousand 776 meters were declared a national marine park. Treasure hunters attracted by the mystery of the sea here. In 1638 the Spanish galleon loaded with gold wrecked in the Saipan Strait. And only a small portion of treasure was found in an underwater expedition. Most of the treasure still remains at the bottom of the strait. Is this not a reason to go to Saipan?
