First Sydney Cook Islands flight fully booked
The new direct flight from Sydney has taken off with a bang, according to Cook Islands Tourism (CIT) chief executive Carmel Beattie.
The first direct flight from Sydney lands in Rarotonga on Sunday and is fully booked and flights all the way through July have “strong bookings, Beattie said.
She said that there has been a good reaction to the first round of media advertising in Australia, with bookings going up from 77 people in the week before advertising, to 208 in the week after.
“There was an initial rush of bookings and they have been growing steadily ever since,” she said. “What we have to do now is maintain our presence in the marketplace.”
The media campaigns were run jointly with seven tourism partners including Infinity, Qantas Vacations, and Stella. The ads promoted package deals which started at around AUD$1000 for six nights. Beattie said that they plan to continue promotional work with the four top performing tourism partners.

Guam talent’s dream turns to ‘reality’ show, Guam
by Sweet One Gilliam
YOUNG Lee, a native of Guam and graduate of John F. Kennedy High School, sought out his childhood dream to be in Hollywood. His dream has finally come to reality –through a reality television show.
Lee landed a part in the new reality TV series titled “K-Town,” to be produced by rapper and actor Tyrese Gibson.
The show is set to be an Asian alternative to MTV’s Jersey Shore.
According to Wikipedia, Jersey Shore is a reality television series on MTV that follows eight housemates in real world-type style while they live, work and party at the New Jersey Shore
Lee was cast long after he boxed up his belongings from Tamuning in 2003 when he attended Pacific Union College on the West Coast.
During Lee’s Guam 2005 summer vacation, he won the Star Quest, a competition in which he performed a hip-hop dance routine.
Lee later submitted a video reel of himself as part of his audition for the K-Town pilot which he mentions was shot last weekend.
Should the pilot of “K-Town” rate in appeal to an audience who will, “love it,” (as Paris Hilton would say) and be picked up by a network that will air the show, then Lee is on the way to representing Guam in the Hills of Hollywood.

New building codes now in place, Guam
CONTRACTORS will have to comply with new building codes now that Bill 433 has been enacted as Public Law 30-159.
The legislation amends Public Law 30-25 which was signed to adopt the 2009 International Building Code and enforce it immediately.
The code includes fuel gas, international mechanical, international plumbing, international property, international maintenance, international fire, and international energy conservation. All must be met with satisfactory results by the agencies implementing the IBC, the Department of Public Works and the Guam Fire Department.
Opposition to the law was raised by realtors and businesses and the author of the bill, Sen. Tom Ada, submitted Bill 433 to postpone the enactment of the law from June 30 to Oct. 1 of this year.
Concerns raised included the amount of money residents would have to pay in order to comply with the law, which would be thousands of dollars.
The new date gives agencies more time to complete the necessary tasks needed to implement the law and also have a public forum on the code.
faredchaWith this in mind, the law also orders public works and GFD to conduct a public forum so that residents can provide input, recommendations and concerns about the building code. The forum shall be conducted within 45 days after the enactment of the law.
