These events vary\u2014event hosting, housing of celebrities and other VIP guests\u2014for getting the Saipan Marathon finally certified by Association of International Marathons and Distant Races and International Association of Athletics Federations which put us on the global marathon circuit and more,\u201d Concepcion said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHyatt Regency adds that special touch because they have international standards and expectations that they must abide by and live up to.\u00a0That\u2019s the best thing about having a global brand like the Hyatt Regency in the CNMI; they have standards to meet that other hotels do not and that makes them special,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He agrees that Hyatt Regency Saipan\u2019s history of 38 years in the CNMI has allowed it to contribute immensely to the tourism industry in the CNMI.\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout their nearly 40 years of doing business here, they have brought a globally recognized brand to the CNMI, which elevates our profile in the global tourism industry. It is the sole global brand in the CNMI to this day and that alone is tremendously valuable.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve partnered with the MVA on nearly all our marketing projects locally and international markets. They have sponsored rooms and meals for many of our special guests. They have donated funding to many organizations that help sustain the tourism industry and the list goes on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>One of the MVA\u2019s challenges is to get the Japanese market back to the CNMI and having a Japanese-owned property operating a premium brand hotel in the CNMI contributes to MVA efforts. \u201cI will say that the Hyatt Regency Saipan management team has been a key partner in luring air service from Japan to the CNMI and this is enormously beneficial for the tourism industry,\u201d said Concepcion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHyatt Regency Saipan also participates in nearly all overseas travel trade shows and seminars hosted by the MVA and having them there is appreciated. \u2026They\u2019ve contributed greatly to the community through their charitable donations, sponsorship of countless community events, sporting events, their support of all their employees which are almost all local hires, and much more.\u00a0 They occupy a very prestigious role as the sole global hotel chain in the CNMI and that in and of itself is a great community contribution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Concepcion said that MVA is looking forward to Hyatt serving tourists and the people of the CNMI for another 38 years. \u201cOn behalf of the MVA board, management team and staff, we congratulate Hyatt Regency Saipan on their 38th anniversary.\u00a0Having a Japanese-owned property under a global brand doing business in the CNMI is highly desirable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thank Mr. Nishikawa and his entire team for all their contributions to the CNMI. We look forward to another 38 years and more of doing business with the Hyatt group,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyatt Regency Saipan has always been a dependable source of support, according to Marianas Visitors&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[56,26,233,212],"class_list":["post-289534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","tag-business-3","tag-cnmi","tag-hyatt-regency-saipan","tag-mva"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289534\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
