Today we talk about the new 12 million Dollar marketing initiative being rolled out by the Hawaii Visitors Bureau aimed at getting you to visit Hawaii. This money is being spent in addition to the $54 million already appropriated as a result of a tourism slump here in the islands. We go over why this marketing campaign is so important and what you should be aware of if you’re a consumer and seeing deals coming from the HVCB. We also discuss package prices and go over Hawaii vacations that have been built in the last 24 to 48 hours. We speak to top Hawaii-Aloha.com agent Kalei about a package he put together for one of her clients which turned out to be a much better value than the customer ever expected.
Hawaii hotels continue to add more incentives to get you to book at their properties. Today we talk about some of these great specials that are available and offer advice on saving money during your Hawaii vacation. We also answer a podcast listener question about how long it takes to get here to Hawaii from North Carolina and also answer a podcast listener request about what to do for a long-awaited Hawaii vacation. We also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours which will give you a great idea of what pricing looks like for a Hawaii vacation. We take the opportunity to welcome new customers and thank the agents had booked their great Hawaiian experience.
If you’ve wondered what the best way is to make travel arrangements for Hawaii, the firmest answer is: Not by yourself! Today we talk about why you should use an agent preferably one that it in Hawaii. You see, when you use an agent, you package all the aspects of your trip. When you package, everything cost less, and you don’t get anything you don’t want. Wholesalers, with whom you cannot deal, pay for tickets, rooms and cars in bunches. When they do that, of course, they pay a lot less than you would. We also discuss packages that have been booking in the last 24 hours which will give you an idea of Hawaii Vacation costs.
There are times when airfares climb – often at an alarming rate. Airfares apparently will continue to go up as the fuel situation lingers and worsens. There are two ways airline tickets are sold: at published rates and at bulk rates. Bulk-rate fares, which usually are lower than the published rates, are offered mostly by wholesalers and travel agents.
When you buy a published-rate reservation, you must pay the full price at the time. That price is locked in and not affected by the increase. When you make a bulk-rate reservation through certain Hawaii-based travel agents, you make only a deposit.
