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

On April 15, 2019, Saipan — 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 global investment bankers and senior investors, officially kicking off the 2019 Saipan Business Exploration Tour.

Under the meticulous planning and organization of the Northern Mariana Islands' Department of Commerce and the Tourism Bureau, the tour group visited Saipan’s globally renowned natural attractions that day: natural breakwaters, stunning wave lines, naturally occurring seven-colored seas, and experienced the world’s best warm seawater (with temperatures consistently at 28°C year-round).

It is understood that every attraction on Saipan has its own historical background: such as the famous "Managaha Island", the world's best natural scuba diving spot "The Grotto", the prime sunset viewing spot "Bird Island", the uniquely shaped "Crocodile Island", the "world's highest peak" Mount Tapochau... along with various historical memorial parks and museums.

The tour group also conducted on-site visits and 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 — The Imperial Pacific Saipan (a super-luxury royal hotel), with all hotel construction topped out, and some venues already in operation.

Phase II project (covering 4,500 acres, 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 landmark structures on Saipan), including the planned land plots, gave participants a preliminary understanding of Imperial Pacific’s (01076.HK) strong capabilities and ambitious vision.

On the afternoon of April 16, the "Vibrant Saipan · Destined for Imperial Pacific" project presentation was grandly held in the hotel conference hall.

This conference united global business elites to enhance Saipan’s unique value, improve its economic ecosystem, and promote economic development through global economic concepts and advanced modern urban construction, aiming to make Saipan the fastest-growing modern island city in terms of tourism economic value among U.S. territories.
