MICE Manager for Hawai‘i Tourism Oceania Kris Phadungkiatipong said that the business exchange trip was a fantastic opportunity for delegates to meet local suppliers, while experiencing everything that Hawai‘i has to offer for business events first-hand.

“The Experience Aloha Business Exchange, which was held at the Hawai‘i Convention Centre, allowed our Australian and New Zealand delegation to meet one-on-one with a wide range of suppliers from across the Hawaiian Islands, to discuss business opportunities in Hawai‘i.

“We were able to showcase the variety of experiences and offsite venues available in O‘ahu and Maui, for meeting planners who want a unique experience and memorable for their client,” she said.
