We have set the vision. We acknowledge the problem. What do we do next? Public Private Partnerships have offered governments and states across the world a powerful policy tool for improving the economic sustainability of destinations and enhancing its quality of services. The Council is seeking to capture this potential through a formal collaboration with organizations and stakeholders in the community. The PPP Program is a commitment between a private organization or a non-profit organization with the Council of Economic Advisers and key government agencies to collaboratively maintain, enhance, and transform a site for a period of five years. Since initiating the PPP program, the Council, Governor Torres, and Chairman Tan actively engaged civic organizations and business leaders across the CNMI to participate in adopting a public site, and coordinated collaboration with government agencies to reinvigorate and redevelop these destinations. As of March 2021, the PPP program has 54 partners and 46 sites. Please contact gceacnmi@gmail.com for more information on how to join the PPP program.

Our visitors know what to expect before coming to our islands, however, how close is that to our reality? Watch as the Council addresses the problem in our current infrastructure and tourism sites and the inspiring example we can follow, and stay tuned for the initiative that started our mission toward becoming a world-class destination. #TogetherWeCanCNMI Credits: Marianas 30 Treasures / Marianas Visitors Authority, Iwamoto Film Studio Polynesian Cultural Center / Perfect Little Planet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2O2KjZ3E04 Driving in Kauai, Hawaii / Places WeGo Exploring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtaof6XJ_m8 Waikiki Roads Night / Hawaii John https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu_pw47TO7c Bishop Museum / PhotoLukeHawaii https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5XIa3Zr_lg&t=1297s Hawaii Aerial Shot / TAPP Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PRN5bBGWOk

The CNMI is beautiful, and all it takes is one photo to show just that. However, the same is true to show the opposite. Follow the journey of a resident that used the power of mass communication to stir others into action. Truly, all it takes is one.

Simply put, their dollar is our dollar. Tourism represents the primary source of economic activity in the CNMI, but just how much does it provide for our islands? Follow the day in the life of a dollar through Annabelle's conversation with her dad.
