Golf Digest featuring CNMI

Golf Digest spent May 15-19 on the island of Saipan compiling a story for their July edition. The monthly magazine for golf enthusiasts, features information on golf techniques, golf courses, rules, and other golf information.

The magazine has been in publication for 47 years and enjoys a circulation of 132,183. The primary audience is corporate executives and management level staff that enjoy golf. The July story has an estimated value of $140,800.

Not only will the story feature golf courses on Saipan, it will also display the islands tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants. The Garapan Street Market and the Taste of the Marianas will also be featured.

The featured golf courses include Coral Ocean Point, Kingfisher, LaoLao Bay Golf Resort, Mariana Country Club, and Saipan Country Club.

The article is strategically placed in the July issue to entice more golfers from Japan to play golf in the CNMI during the low season.

MVA would like to thank Coral Ocean Point, Mariana Resort & Spa, LaoLao Bay Golf Resort, Kingfisher, Saipan Country Club, Sand Castle, Gentle Brook Café, and Kinpachi Restaurant for their support.

“With the recent announcement of additional air service out of Japan into the CNMI, it will be easier for Japanese golfers to get to our islands,” said MVA managing director Perry Tenorio. “The golf market is one that MVA will continue to attract as we have some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world on our islands.” [B][I](MVA)[/I][/B]
