The Japan Saipan Travel Association conducted its semi-annual cleanup of Garapan on April 21, 2018, drawing 45 participants from 17 companies and collecting approximately 200 lbs of trash.
JSTA was joined by the Marianas Visitors Authority, a number of tourism industry companies, and community members in picking up trash from American Memorial Park to the Carolinian Affairs Office along roadways and the beach in anticipation of more tourist arrivals during Japan’s Golden Week holiday and May Tourism Month.

Other participating companies and organizations were: Japan Consular Office, Northern Marianas Dive Operators Association Pacific Development Inc., Pacific Micronesia Tours, Tasi Tours & Transportation, H.I.S. Saipan, Himawari Kenbukan, Good Care, Aqua Connections, Islanders Net Inc., Saipan Sea Ventures, KCA Corp., and Tan Holdings Corp.
