Yap Visitors Bureau Promoting marine, nature-based and cultural heritage tourism in the Land of Stone Money

Yap Visitors Bureau is the Government's national tourism organization responsible for promoting the island of Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia. Yap is ringed by spectacular coral reefs and famous for its scuba diving with giant manta rays, sharks and exploring World War II shipwrecks. Other key activities on the island include canoeing, kayaking and deep-sea and reef fishing. Yap is also

uniquely famous for its stone money (huge disks of stone, which are still used today in major transactions), strong traditional culture and way of life, and welcoming residents. Just a short flight away from Guam or Palau, this Pacific gem is one of the tourism industry’s best kept secrets.

"My hope and message to the younger generation is to continue learning the traditional navigation and traditional fishing methods and knowing the importance to the way of life on the island, because everywhere you go the traditional skills are going to be needed."
