Safe Travels Marianas Program

View Approved Businesses

As The Marianas slowly regains visitors, the Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA) is working with the CNMI COVID-19 Task force and other governmental partners to implement effective safety  protocols across the tourism industry.   Our goal is to achieve recovery of the tourism industry in a manner that is safe, gradual, and sustainable,  providing a meaningful experience for our visitors and sustainable economic growth for our community.

The Safe Travels Marianas program is aligned with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travels Program that identifies common standards to ensure the safety of  workforce and travelers as the travel sector shifts to a new normal.

Please note that while the protocols take into account current WHO and CDC guidelines, they are living documents which we will update as new information becomes available about COVID-19.

What is the WTTC Safe Travels Program?

The Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA) has registered with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) to become the lead agency with authority to issue tourism businesses with the ‘Safe Travels’ Stamp to help ensure the safety of The Marianas community while simultaneously supporting our tourism industry in making a robust recovery.

The Safe Travels Program

    • Is globally recognized and developed by the WTTC to provide COVID safety recognition for the tourism trade and domestic and international consumers
    • Encourages both consumers and tourism trade to support businesses displaying the ‘Safe Travels’ Stamp with confidence
    • Is available to all businesses in The Marianas who align their COVID Safety Guidelines and Protocols with the Safe Travels Program guidelines
    • Demonstrates a commitment to the safety of employees, customers, and the community

Why should I obtain the WTTC Safe Travels Stamp?

    • The WTTC ‘Safe Travels’ Stamp is globally recognized & provides a level of confidence for both the tourism trade and consumers that The Marianas has a high standard of COVID Safety protocols and guidelines in place.
    • Local tourism industry businesses have the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to global health and safety standards by applying to the MVA for the destination of “Safe Travels-Approved.”
    • The program is endorsed by the CNMI Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force and will help keep your employees, customers, and the community safe.
    • Your business will be promoted and recognized as a Safe Travel establishment for residents and visitors.
    • It’s free of charge.
    • Business certified under the Safe Travels Marianas Program with fully vaccinated employees may be eligible for promotions or giveaways under the Marianas Tourism Resumption Investment Program (TRIP) under the CNMI Office of the Governor, as coordinated by the MVA.

Other Requirements

As part of the Safe Travels Marianas program, the Marianas Visitors Authority, under guidance from the CNMI COVID-19 Task Force, requires all employees of your establishment to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. This requirement is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our visitors and community.

“Fully vaccinated” is defined as two weeks after completing the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after receiving a single dose of a one-dose vaccine.

Once  your establishment has passed inspection, we will email a vaccination verification form that must be signed and include the complete employee listing of  your company.  This is the final requirement of the Safe Travels Marianas program.
