Camacho 2006 A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR OF GUAM Buenas yan Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present to you the “2005 Guam Statistical Yearbook” which highlights Guam’s economic development and progress through a comprehensive collection of social, economic, and demographic information on Guam. There are many challenges facing our island today. The wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, the Asian Economic Crisis, natural disasters and world events have challenged us to implement innovative measures and programs to revitalize Guam’s economic base. Through effective partnerships with leaders in the public and private sector, we have moved forward in building a strong foundation for a better Guam, a stronger economy. Today, Guam is recognized as a world-class resort destination enjoyed by over a million visitors annually. Record-breaking visitor arrivals coupled with private sector job gains, growing business establishments, and new construction projects are indicators that our island is on the road to economic recovery and stabilization. In addition, the anticipated expansion and relocation of the Marines and their families to Guam will further stimulate Guam’s economic growth and activity. As our island continues to prosper and the quality of life of our people improves, it is important that we provide our government, business leaders and investors with essential information about our community, who we are, where we have come from, and the course we are taking. I commend the management and staff of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans, the Government of Guam agencies and numerous others for their contributions and efforts in making this publication possible. A heartfelt “Dangkulo Na Si Yu’os Ma’ase” to the hard-working men and women for their time and dedication in providing our community with a wealth of current and historical information about our island and the environment we live in. The statistics presented herein serves as a valuable resource tool for which we and future generations can benefit. May God Bless Guam and our wonderful island paradise. THE HONORABLE FELIX P.
