TUMON, Guam—The biggest shopping event of the Western Pacific is back in time for the holiday season. The Guam Visitors Bureau announced yesterday that over 150 vendors will be participating in the 5th Shop Guam e-Festival, with more than 200 deals available for all shoppers.
This year’s e-Festival begins on Dec. 1 and will run through Feb. 4, 2017. Shop Guam features a diverse set of shopping incentives to dine, shop, and play, making it a great addition to the holiday shopping season.

New beacon sensor
