Comments From the HVCB Chair

Aloha Kakou:

Attached is an article from this week's Travel Weekly about Mark Dunkerley's take on tourism in Hawaii today. Mr. Dunkerley is the CEO of Hawaiian Airlines and Chairman of HVCB (Hawaii Visitor and Convention Bureau).

Take a look at Mr. Dunkerley's comments regarding Hawaii's competitiveness versus other destinations.

My favorite quote of the article is: " Without stepping up the level of investment to keep pace with our competition, we risk having our visitor experience fall short of the expectations created by Hawaii's strong brand." You might expect that would be my favorite quote!
