(Shanghai, China) Ctrip, China’s leading Online Travel Agency (OTA), selected Guam as the recipient of “The Best Overseas Self-driving Tour Destination” award for its stunning coastal routes and driving experience.

The award was voted by over 25 million Ctrip users online and judged by a professional judging panel during Ctrip’s annual travel forum on March 6, 2018, at the Shanghai Ploy Grand Theater.
