AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tourism: The suspension of visa-free entry for Chinese visitors is already threatening Saipan’s air links: Hong Kong Airlines canceled flights between Saipan and Hong Kong from Nov. 1 through Dec. 30. Tourism and business groups warn the move could deepen the CNMI’s economic strain; Chinese visitors accounted for more than 20% of arrivals in fiscal 2026. Energy: Regulators approved CUC’s $500 million solar-and-battery project, clearing the way for preconstruction and planned local hiring, with savings on power bills expected over time. Business: The Saipan Chamber will elect its 2027–28 board on Nov. 17. Workforce Investment Agency Director Frances Torres will discuss employment and training resources for local businesses.
