Another economic pillar of Saipan is tourism. Saipan, like Guam, began to develop tourism in the 1970s. Because Saipan is close to Japan and has historical origins, Japan is the main source of tourists (including Japanese soldiers who died in battle and civilian survivors who regularly come to sacrifice), reaching hundreds of thousands every year at its peak. Although Saipan's agriculture is not as strong as tourism and migrant workers, it is relatively developed locally.

Saipan is the main island of Mariana Islands (Federation). Saipan and its adjacent islands are close to Asia and belong to the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The northern mariana islands have a pleasant climate, with plenty of sunshine all year round, fresh air, clear water and young sand. With an average annual temperature of around 27℃, it is a paradise for tourism and holiday.

There are many types of hotels on the island, from quiet and comfortable hotels to spacious and advanced hotels, from hotels with specific characteristics to hotels suitable for backpackers. Visitors can choose various types of hotels according to their own preferences. When choosing a hotel facing the sea, tourists can choose to "stay indoors" and enjoy another kind of fun. After breakfast in the seaside restaurant in the morning, you can play on your own beach and experience a relaxing SPA at the seaside when you are tired.

Saipan is an island built by immigrants from the Philippines and other places about 5000 years ago. The original beauty of Saipan and Mariana Islands was not known to the world until the famous navigator Magellan 152 1 traveled around the world. 1565, the Spanish landed on the island, declared permanent possession as its territory, and named it "Mariana" after the Queen of Spain, and ruled for nearly 400 years. Germany bought the island from Spain in 1898 and ruled it for less than 20 years. 19 18 After the defeat of World War I, Germany transferred the permanent rights of this colony to Japan. The Japanese planted a lot of sugar cane in Mariana Islands. At that time, a large number of immigrants from China, South Asia and South Korea forcibly moved and developed a large number of sugarcane farms. During World War II, Japanese and American armies fought fiercely for the island. The ruins that proved the war situation at that time have now been developed into characteristic tourist attractions. After Japan's defeat, the United Nations allocated the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia Islands, Palau Island and Marshall Islands to the United States Government for 40 years (1945- 1985). After the end of the trusteeship period, Micronesia, Palau and Marshall Islands can establish separate republics, while the Northern Mariana Islands decided to belong to the United States through a referendum in 1986 under the planning of the United States government, and became a new member of the United States territory, but the management was managed by the local government and a transitional period was implemented. Therefore, starting from 1986, all residents on the island have American citizen passports, and social welfare cards (that is, tax cards) are managed by California. Because it is managed by the local government, entering and leaving the Northern Mariana Islands does not require a visa from the US embassy or consulate, but is handled by the local immigration bureau. Any baby born locally can apply for an American passport and become an American citizen.
