Declining Travel Customer Service in a Declining Economy
The declining economy is taking its toll on the visitor industry, especially on the front lines at the various airlines. On today’s show we discuss a controversial topic; the declining customer service in the airline industry. This topic was prompted by some issues our customers are having with a local airline here in Hawaii.
Have you ever wanted to win a free trip to Hawaii? Well today we tell you about a great contest that is going to be held on the Ellen DeGeneres show next week. A lucky studio audience winner and a winner at home will be getting an all expense paid trip to Hawaii first-class on Hawaiian Airlines and either a stay at the Royal Hawaiian resort or the Mauna Kea resort.
Every day we encounter challenges as travel agents here at Hawaii aloha travel. The last couple of days have been no exception we talk about everything from a funny question that we got from one of our customers to an interesting story about how we save somebody thousands of dollars on their hotel room.

Is Hawaii a Safe Place?
On today’s podcast we answer a listener question who’s concerned about safety during her vacation, we also hear from another podcast listener who wants to know if it make sense to book directly with the property rather than using an agent and there’s no difference in the price? We go over some news about a management company in Hawaii who wants to charge customers for towels. We also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours and welcome new customers to our Ohana (family). We congratulate the great Hawaii Aloha Travel agents who book these packages.

Hawaii Tourism Slump
Not unlike most other vacation destinations, Hawaii is seeing a steady decline in its visitor numbers. The slump, in fact, is now the worst we’ve seen since the Great Depression.
Hawaii’s visitor arrivals dropped sixteen point five percent in December, and that contributed to what was an annual decline of almost eleven percent.

You’ll be eating at a wide variety of restaurants while you’re here, so it’s a good idea to get as familiar as you can ahead of time with some of the menu items you’re likely to encounter. Today we won’t attempt now to help you with entrees, since there are zillions of kinds of restaurants and the menus are so diversified there’s no way to summarize. But all good restaurants have something for you to try first. Appetizers. Hors D’oeuvres. We call them pupu. Except in the purely ethnic restaurants, you can expect to find the standards: caviar, shrimp cocktail, escargot, calamari, crab cakes, foie gras, oysters, steak tartare …But you’ll see some offerings that may not sound familiar to you.
