Tourism Talk SARA DEL NOZAL
account manager, Hawaii Tourism Europe “We have seen great
interest in Hawaii as a destination this year and we are working with several operators in developing brand new itineraries to the islands and increasing the product portfolio with many others. We expect an increase on sales as a result of Hawaii Five-0 and the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 that was filmed in Kauai and we are looking at the possibility of doing some marketing opportunity around the release of the movie. We are working on the UK trade website –
gohawaii.com/uk – and we hope to have it ready by the end of April. At the moment we are busy organising a sales mission in the UK, from October

HAWAII Top Selling Tips...
• With the long flying time and layovers, Hawaii may not suit young families, but older children will love it as there is so much to see and do
• Kilauea on the Big Island is the world’s most active volcano and recent lava flows have added to the spectacle
• Waikiki Beach is where surfing started but to watch the best surf action, head to Oahu’s North Shore, especially in winter
• Maui is Hawaii’s whale- watching capital, with humpback whales congregating offshore from November to April
