CIA - The World Factbook -- Guam
The economy depends on US military spending, tourism, and the export of fish and handicrafts. Total US grants, wage payments, and procurement outlays amounted to $1 billion in 1998. Over the past 20 years, the tourist industry has grown rapidly, creating a construction boom for new hotels and the expansion of older ones. More than 1 million tourists visit Guam each year.

Guam faces the problem of building up the civilian economic sector to offset the impact of military downsizing. ... [Read More]

Guam DAWR Pelagic Fishery Description Page
Commercial landings and commercial revenues of all pelagics and non-tuna PPMUS increased in 2001 while tuna decreased in 2001. Inflation-adjusted revenues per trolling trip show a general decline, although in 2001 there is a decrease in inflation-adjusted revenues. Since the vast majority of boaters in the pelagic fishery do not rely on catching or selling fish for a living, effort continues to occur despite decreasing revenues. The average price of tuna and non-tuna PPMUS also show a general decline, although the price of non-tuna PPMUS has increased since 1995. ... [Read More]

Guam BSP Transshipent Fishery Description Page
Although the drop in the landings appear to suggest declining fishing effort in the Western Pacific, reported catches of bigeye and yellowfin within the SPC affiliate areas remained relatively unchanged during the period between 1989-95 at an average annual landing of 42,668 tons. A possible explanation for this is that the Japanese vessels are using other ports to transship fresh tuna to the market in Japan. These could include ports in the Federated States of Micronesia which are closer to the fishing grounds. ... [Read More]
