Our long-term goal is to eventually see the development of direct flights, and we continue to lay the groundwork in Taiwan for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople\u201d airs to an estimated 6.6 million viewers across Taiwan each week.<\/p>\n<p>While on Saipan and Tinian, \u201cInsight People\u201d shadowed Elaine Lai, a high school tourism teacher and MVA\u2019s \u201cIntern to the Marianas\u201d contest winner.
