The article on the Northern Marianas has an estimated ad exposure value of $200,000, coverage which the Marianas Visitors Authority was able to negotiate for a much lower in-kind support cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMadame Figaro Japan features travel information on hotels, gourmet food, and visitor sites in various destinations, and we look forward to the Northern Marianas being featured in their February 2017 issue,\u201d said MVA marketing manager Bruce Bateman.<\/p>\n<p>While on Saipan, the media team photographed at Marpi, Pau Pau Beach, Joeten Hafadai Shopping Center, Mariana Ocean, I Love Saipan, in downtown Garapan, and other sites.
