The Northern Mariana Islands are a group of 14 islands located in the North Pacific Ocean, under the administration of the United States. In this presidential democracy, the chief of state is the president of the United States and the head of government is the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands is approximately 52,000 people (2017 estimate) and approximately 90% of the population lives on Saipan Island.
The first people to inhabit the Mariana Islands were from Southeast Asia. In 1668, the islands were colonized by the Spanish, but in 1899, when the Spanish withdrew from the Pacific, the islands were transferred to German authority. When World War I broke out, the Japanese took control of the Northern Mariana Islands and, thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, gained possession of them at the end of the war. During World War II the US invaded the islands, taking them from the Japanese and using them as important Allied bases. At the end of the war, they became part of US administration.
Due to its location, the Northern Mariana Islands experience a tropical climate with warm year round temperatures and a rainy season between July and October.
Tourism is an important and growing industry in the Northern Mariana Islands. The islands, which are home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and best dive sites, beckon the adventurous traveller to come explore.

Northern Mariana Islands中的安全性
人身安全
與許多國際旅遊目的地相比,北馬裡亞納群島的犯罪率相對較低。 2024年,重大犯罪統計數據大幅下降,竊盜案件從2023年的931起下降到2024年的347起,擾亂治安事件從2640起下降到1049起。扒手、搶錢包以及車輛或飯店房間竊盜等輕微犯罪確實會發生,但與許多其他旅遊目的地相比,其發生率較低。塞班島、天寧島和羅塔島等主要島嶼上可能發生入室竊盜事件。針對遊客的暴力犯罪極為罕見。當地公共安全部門在各島嶼設有專門的交通部門和執法機構。在島上旅遊時,請注意保管您在海灘和人口稠密的旅遊區(尤其是在夜間)的財產。島上偶爾會發生示威活動,可能會擾亂交通,但這種情況並不常見。在人跡罕至的地區和天黑後無人巡邏的海灘,需要格外小心。
極端暴力
北馬裡亞納群島的極端暴力事件極少。現有數據顯示,近年來幾乎沒有發生任何故意殺人案。針對遊客的搶劫和暴力犯罪極為罕見。這些島嶼的犯罪率明顯低於全球平均。作為擁有約5萬人口的美國領土,北馬裡亞納群島受益於美國聯邦執法部門的監督以及當地公共安全部的行動。幫派暴力和有組織犯罪活動的發生率低於其他太平洋或加勒比海地區。該地區沒有記錄在案的恐怖主義或武裝衝突問題。儘管一些加勒比海和太平洋島嶼面臨毒品販運和槍支暴力的挑戰,但北馬裡亞納群島相對而言並未受到這些地區問題的影響。
政治動盪
北馬裡亞納群島作為美國聯邦屬地,政治穩定。示威活動偶有發生,但整體和平且不頻繁。 2025年初,居民在塞班島舉行了一場和平的反川普集會,抗議美國聯邦政策,示威活動沒有造成暴力或重大破壞,而是展現了該群島行使民主權利的決心。自1986年起,群島居民投票決定與美國建立聯邦,成為美國領土。關於自治範圍和聯邦軍事存在的一些政治辯論仍在繼續,特別是關於在天寧島設立實彈訓練場的提議以及其他軍事擴張計劃。這些討論偶爾會引發社區活動和公眾聽證會,但不會引發內亂或暴力事件。群島實行民主政府,擁有民選州長、兩院制立法機構和獨立司法機構。政治文化強調家庭關係和社區共識,而非對抗性政治。島上沒有分裂運動或暴力政治派系。該群島目前沒有可能影響遊客的迫在眉睫的政治動盪。
應避免的區域
北馬裡亞納群島主要由三個有人居住的島嶼組成:塞班島、天寧島和羅塔島。沒有特定的社區或區域被列為危險區域或要求遊客避開。塞班島是島上最大、人口最多的島嶼,所有觀光區都維持安全的環境。所有島嶼的無人居住區和天黑後無人巡邏的海灘均需保持警惕。主要城鎮以外的鄉村地區部分道路維護不善,但這與其說是安全威脅,不如說是航行方面的問題。群島北部島嶼大部分無人居住,部分地區由於帕甘島自1981年火山爆發以來持續的火山活動而受到限制。美國軍方已提議在天寧島部分地區設立訓練場,這可能會限制未來進入某些區域,但這主要影響的是當地居民,而非短期遊客。海灘區域需要注意的是海洋狀況,而不是犯罪問題,因為強大的洋流和激流會構成自然災害。醫療設施集中在塞班島,只有羅塔島和天寧島設有小型診所,因此患有疾病的遊客在前往較小的島嶼時應考慮就近就醫。
