The Big Island Visitors Bureau's annual membership luncheon and Aikane Awards presentation will be held November 30 at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.
Keynote speaker John DiScala, a.k.a. "Johnny Jet," a Los Angeles-based media personality, visitor industry insider and publisher of www.JohnnyJet.com, will discuss the evolution of online media, how to tell if travel Web sites and media are legitimate, and how to work with media to better promote your business.
Keoki Kahumoku, recipient of three Grammy Awards and one of Hawai'i Island's musical stars, will provide the entertainment. Registration and no-host cocktails are from 11:15 a.m. to noon, followed by the luncheon.
The Big Island Visitors Bureau also will bestow Aikane Awards to individuals who have made a commitment of perpetuating and sharing the history and culture of Hawai'i's Big Island with visitors and residents.
The awards are designed to recognize individuals and/or entities for their contributions to the island's visitor industry.
The general public is invited at a cost of $45 per person. For more information and reservations, call Missy Kaleohano at (808) 961-5797.
