Visit USA Shows - A Huge Success
Hawaii Tourism Oceania, in conjunction with Hawaiian Airlines attended the Visit USA seminars in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in February and presented to
over 600 travel agents. The theme for this years events was 'Baseball' and everyone got into the spirit of the theme. We decided to take our own take on this theme
and while still aware that Baseball doesn't have cheerleaders, decided to bring some cheering to the
event. Many agents visited the Hawaii stand in all cities
and were encouraged to pick up one of the letters making up the word HAWAII. The HTO presentation consisted of
a cheer using these letters, each representing something
at the destination and all the agents joined in the cheer. |

Thanks very much to Mike Story from HTA for organizing the cheer leading outfits which we added our own bit of ALOHA to. Thanks also to our partners Prince Resorts Hawaii, Ilima Hotel, ResortQuest Hawaii and Alamo Car Rental for donating prizes at the event.
