Imperial Pacific seizes the opportunity on Saipan, USA, creating an oceanic miracle

On April 15, 2019, Saipan Island — the capital of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. territory closest to Asia (a 3–5 hour flight away) — welcomed over 300 investment bankers and seasoned investors from around the globe, officially kicking off the 2019 Saipan Business Exploration Tour.

Under the meticulous arrangement and organization of the Northern Mariana Islands’ Government Development Agency and Tourism Bureau, the visiting delegation toured globally renowned natural attractions on Saipan that day: the natural wave barrier, the beautiful lines of the sea waves, the natural seven-color sea, and experienced the world’s best warm seas (with water temperatures consistently at 28°C).

It is understood that every attraction on Saipan has its own historical background: such as the famous “Managaha Island,” the world’s best natural spot for scuba diving “The Grotto,” the best sunset observation point “Bird Island,” the uniquely shaped “Crocodile Island,” “the world’s highest peak” Mount Tapochau... as well as various historical memorial parks and museums.

At the same time, the visiting group also conducted on-site inspections of the largest investment project in the history of the Northern Mariana Islands, operated by Hong Kong-listed company Imperial Pacific (01076.HK):

Phase I project — Imperial Palace Saipan (a super-luxury royal hotel), with all hotel construction topped out and some venues already open for business.

Phase II project (covering 4,500 acres, featuring 20 super-luxury hotels, the world’s largest water theme park, and Asia’s largest American-style outlet mall) and Phase III project (multiple super-luxury hotel clusters and iconic structures on Saipan), including the planned land plots. This provided a preliminary understanding of the strong capabilities and grand vision of Imperial Pacific (01076.HK).

On the afternoon of April 16, the “Vibrant Saipan, Destined with Imperial Pacific” project briefing was grandly held in the hotel conference hall.

This meeting united global business elites to use global economic concepts and advanced modern urban development to elevate Saipan Island’s unique value, improve its economic ecosystem, and promote economic growth; aiming to make Saipan the fastest-growing modern island city in terms of tourism economic value within U.S. territory.

Attending the meeting were Mr. Blas Jonathan Tenorio Attao, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Northern Mariana Islands, Mr. Manuel A. Sablan, Director of the Northern Mariana Development Authority, Mr. Mark Brown, CEO of Imperial Palace Saipan, and Mr. Zhao Qiang, a special commentator for BWC Chinese Network.

It was called an “oceanic miracle” by Bloomberg News, a leading economic indicator.)
