Guam has made a plea to the federal government for a visa waiver for Chinese tourists.
A delegation led by the Governor, Felix Camacho, put their case to Homeland Security officials in Washington DC that the island can responsibly run a tourist visa-waiver program for mainland Chinese visitors.
The Saipan Tribune reports the federal government is currently formulating visa-waiver regulations that will apply to both Guam and the Northern Marianas.
Such visa-waivers would mean tourists from certain countries could avoid the stringent application and interview process at U.S. embassies in the tourists' home countries.
