North Korean tensions aren't deterring tourists from Guam
None
Tourists haven't been deterred from visiting the tropical island of Guam even though the US territory has been the target of threats from North Korea during a week of angry words exchanged by Pyongyang and Washington.
Chiho Tsuchiya of Japan heard the news, but she decided to come anyway with her husband and two children. "I feel Japan and Korea also can get danger from North Korea, so staying home is the same," said the 40-year-old.
The US territory has a population of 160,000, but it attracted 1.5 million visitors last year. One-third of Guam's jobs are in the tourism industry. Guam is a key outpost for the US military, which uses it as a base for bombers and submarines.
