The Tinian mayor Joey San Nicolas said expanded services would include bringing back a regular ferry service from Saipan.

He said it would also include asking car rental companies to expand their fleets.

Alter City Group is planning on building a US$1.2 billion dollar golf and casino resort and Bridge Investment is developing an 1,800 square metres site into the Tinian Ocean View Resort.
