What other GMs are saying:

“We have definitely experienced a decline in tourism, but we are not stopping the move into new products. We will continue as much as we can.”
Michael Jokovich, General Manager, Hyatt Regency at Kaanapali

“Focus on the customer. The customer is looking for that escape more than ever . I think the customer’s idea of the value of a dollar is completely different from what it was six months ago. He treasures that dollar, he wants more value from that dollar.”
Craig Anderson, General Manager, Westin Maui
