Global Industry Travel News - November 21, 2011
Honolulu hotels and resorts were sold out during the recent APEC conference. Room rates were up, but of course expected.
A few weeks ago, the United States and the state of Hawai`i were honored to host the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings commonly known as APEC.
The Hawai`i meetings took place in November 2011 at the Hawai`i Convention Center. These meetings were expected to draw more than 10,000 people to Honolulu.
It was also believed that these high-powered experts and political leaders would not only place Hawai`i in the forefront of much of the world’s media but would also serve as a long-term welcome boost for the state’s tourism industry.
While it is still too early to determine if Honolulu received a net gain of 10,000 additional visitors, it is not too early to conclude that Hawaii received much less world publicity than it had hoped for.

Aloha, APEC and Donald Trump ! Kapi'olani Women's and Children's Hospital has never, ever been in the U S A !!
The Islands are QUIET !! Mention that Kapi'olani Women's and Children's Hospital has never ever been in the United States of America and it is so quiet you can hear a pin drop !! Royalists where are you ?? Donald Trump where are you ?? I guess the story has gone just far enough to suit just about everyone. But there is a minor discrepancy here. Where
are all the legal Beagles from UH Manoa ?? This looks like an extra credit project !! Every
"i" must be dotted; every "t" crossed but why NOT overlook this particular "minor" discrepancy ??
It was just getting exciting ! Even the Democratic Party of Hawai'i was moving to the edge of their seats.
Wish this to be true. Cyberspace is the known life line for Hawaii 2011 APEC and ones before. The shooting took center stage and was actually a control mechanism for security in a weird way. I believe the victorious will reach a high point when Deedy and Elderts reach the end of that gavel.
