Mark Twain declared Hawaii to be 'the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean', and not even thirty years of mass tourism have managed to prove him wrong. Hawaii is a destination that can be either relaxing or filled with physical activity. Lounge by the pool of a world-class resort drinking the local fruit drinks, or explore the many wonders of all the Hawaiian Islands. Snorkel in an ocean of total clarity. Put your face to the breeze on a charter sail. If a physical vacation is what you seek, the surfing, diving, windsurfing and hiking doesn't get any better than in Hawaii. Explore the many wonders of the Polynesian culture of Hawaii. Dance the hula and enjoy succulent Island fare at an authentic luau. Listen to the beautiful tradition Hawaiian music, while sipping Mai Tais under a palm tree. It's easy to get lost in this wonderful tropical paradise.

Monthly average temperatures range from a high of 87.1 Fahrenheit and lows of 65.3 Fahrenheit. June through October is the hottest period, while rainfall is heaviest between December and March - neither extreme is worth worrying over. Hotel prices in Hawaii are lowest between April and mid-December. Weddings in Hawaii In Hawaii, romance is the very essence of life. From the sweet scents of night-blooming jasmine, to breath-taking sunsets, Hawaii is a perfect destination for your wedding and/or honeymoon vacation. Hawaii is world renown to be the number one destination for lovers. Weddings in Hawaii are frequently held outdoors on the beach, in a tropical garden, or even on a boat sailing off into the sunset. All the beaches in Hawaii are public, and both beaches and public parks are free to use for wedding ceremonies. However, don't expect to have a popular spot all to yourself. Most beaches and parks in Hawaii are not secluded and private. Hawaii has a wide range of musical styles and instruments. The slack key (a regional guitar style), the ukulele and steel guitar are popular musical instruments. The popular "Hawaiian Wedding Song" is usually sung at most wedding ceremonies. Traditional Hawaiian wedding attire consists of the bride wearing a long, white formal version of the muumuu called a 'holoku'. Instead of a veil, a woven garland of island flowers, 'haku lei', is worn around the head. The groom on the other hand, usually wears long sleeve white shirt and white pants a long red, or colored sash, is worn wrapped about his waist. A lei of maile and ilima flowers adorn his neck. Of course, chose whatever wedding style fits both your tastes. In Hawaii couples have gotten married wearing their swimsuits. Hawaii reveals romance, idyllic beaches and gorgeous landscapes. If the honeymoon wasn't invented here, it should have been. Hawaii and romance are practically synonymous. Wedding parties may qualify for a group travel discount. Imagine offering a romantic wedding for your guest, while they vacation in Mexico. Visit www.beverlyclarktravel.com for group specials to Mexico. Activities and Things to See in Hawaii Surfing is the king of sports, and Hawaii is deservedly renowned for its great waves. Beginners can learn the basics at Waikiki, and then watch the professionals on Oahu's North Shore. Maui has become a windsurfing mecca, with the top international windsurfers heading for Hookipa Beach. Diving is good year-round and there are plenty of underwater caves, canyons, lava tubes, vertical walls and sunken ships to explore. Lanai, the sunken volcanic crater of Molokini, and Oahu and Kauai's northern coasts are all great diving areas. The Big Island's Kona Coast offers some of the world's best deep-sea fishing for Pacific blue marlin, yellow fin tuna and spearfish. And for those who want to keep their feet on solid ground, hiking opportunities include trails in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Haleakala National Park and Hawaii's premier hike along Kauai's Na Pali Coast. The Hawaiian Islands Oahu Places worth visiting on Oahu: Waikiki Beach Pearl Harbor North shore Beaches Hanauma Bay Nuuanu Pali Lookout Oahu, nicknamed 'The Gathering Place', is the most populous, most developed and most well known of the Hawaiian Islands. Oahu throbs with energy and elegance. The names and images most commonly conjured up by the mention of Hawaii are all here: Honolulu, Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Pipeline and Sunset Beach. The state capital, Honolulu, is the major exit/entry point for travelers. For a more back to nature approach, visit the lush windward side. Eons of wind and weather erosion have carved these ranges' sculptured, jagged peaks, deep valleys, sheer green cliffs, and dynamic vistas. At the base of these mountains more than 50 beach parks lie draped like a beautiful lei, each known for a different activity, be it snorkeling, surfing, swimming, or sunbathing. Waikiki continues to serve as home base for endless possibilities for day trips full of cultural and scenic eco-adventures. Visitors can stroll along a new and improved Kuhio Beach and find wider beach expanses and extensive services, and meander along the historic Waikiki walking trail. With Waikiki leading the way, Oahu maintains its status as an exciting destination, with more things to see, more places to eat, and more things to do than on all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. Looking For the Best Hawaii Honeymoon Location or Wedding Destination? To find your Romantic Honeymoon Getaway on Oahu, Hawaii, we recommend: Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel Aston Waikiki Beach Tower Big Island (Hawaii) The island of Hawaii, commonly called the Big Island, is nearly twice the size of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. Geographically it's the most diverse island of the archipelago, with deserts, rainforests, the world's most active volcano, and surprisingly, snow-capped mountains. Mauna Kea, which measures 32,000 ft beneath the ocean's surface to its 13,796-ft peak, is the world's tallest mountain. The mountains create a huge barrier that blocks the north-easterly trade winds and makes the leeward, western side of the island the driest region in the archipelago. This coast, known as the Kona-Kohala Coast, has the best beaches and water conditions. The windward, eastern coast, with the island's major city, Hilo, is predominantly rugged, with pounding surf, plenty of rain, tropical rainforests, deep ravines and majestic waterfalls. So much rain falls near Hilo, the island's major city, that a botanical garden at Onomea Bay provides umbrellas to enter its tropical jungle. Kona, Waikoloa and Hilo are the main centers for accommodation and restaurants. Worth visiting on the Big Island: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Waipio Valley Mauna Kea Mauna Loa Hapuna Beach Kona Hilo Puuhonua O Honaunau National Park Looking For the Best Hawaii Honeymoon Location or Wedding Destination? To find your Romantic Honeymoon Getaway on the Big Island, Hawaii, we recommend: Aston Waikoloa Colony Villas Fairmont Orchid Kauai If you're looking for lush scenery, Kauai, known as 'The Garden Island', is a great choice. Kauai's central volcanic peak, Mt Waialeale, is allegedly the wettest place on earth. Many movies were filmed on Kauai, such as South Pacific, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park. Most of the island's interior is mountainous forest reserve, which offers great hiking; the southern and western coasts are dry, sunny and fringed with beautiful beaches. Kauai's capital is Lihu'e, the island's commercial center. Its collection of businesses -- a pair of banks, a library, a school, a museum, some family-run restaurants, and hotels -- is small enough to keep the pace unhurried. North of Lihu'e the climate turns cooler and wetter, and everything sparkles green. In Wailua and Kapa'a, resort complexes huddle along a picturesque shoreline called the Royal Coconut Coast for its abundance of palms. As you head farther north to Anahola, Kilauea, Princeville, and Hanalei, vines and flowers flourish. On the south coast the sunny beaches and clear skies around Po'ipu have spawned a crop of condos and hotels. The area has also come into its own as a golf destination, and several fine restaurants have found a home here as well. Accommodation and eateries can be found in the small towns of Lihue, Kapaa, Princeville and Poipu. Worth visiting on Kauai: Na Pali Coast Waimea Canyon - the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific' Lumahai Beach Polihale Beach Wailua River Looking For the Best Hawaii Honeymoon Location or Wedding Destination? To find your Romantic Honeymoon Getaway on Kauai, Hawaii, we recommend: Aston at Poipu Kai Aston Islander on the Beach Waimea Plantation Cottages Maui Maui is known as 'The Valley Island'. The island is comprised of two large extinct volcanoes (Haleakala and Puu Kukui) divided by a central valley. It's the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and the most developed of the Neighbor Islands. It's renowned for its abundant supply of beautiful, romantic beaches and some of the world's best windsurfing and surfing spots. The uplands of Maui are comprised of eucalyptus groves and cattle ranches. Check out the historical town of Makawao, with its fine restaurants and cowboy flavor buildings. The east coast of Maui is where you'll find the lush, tropical rainforests. Looking for nightlife on your honeymoon vacation? Then visit Lahaina and Kaanapali Beach. For a more relaxing atmosphere take a slow, dramatic rain-forest drive to the sleepy town of Hana. Worth visiting on Maui: Haleakala Crater Iao Needle Lahaina Kaanapali Beach Hana Highway Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area Looking For the Best Hawaii Honeymoon Location or Wedding Destination? To find your Romantic Honeymoon Getaway on Maui, Hawaii, we recommend: Adventure in Paradise Aston Kaanapali Shores Fairmont Kea Lani Maui Maui Kaanapali Villas The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach Lanai Lanai, known as the 'Pineapple Island', is a sleepy, pineapple-plantation island, which 98% of the island is owned by Dole Corporation. Lanai's old pineapple fields have been transformed into two exquisite resorts-one in the mountains and one by the sea. Lanai is home to many natural wonders. To the northwest lies the Garden of the Gods, where rocks and boulders are scattered across a crimson landscape. Adjacent is a trail leading through the Kanepu'u Preserve, a dryland forest with some 48 native species, including the endangered Hawaiian gardenia. On the southern tip is Hulopo'e Bay, a marine conservation area prized by divers and snorkelers for its vivid tropical reef fish and crystal clear waters. Experience hiking or driving to the summit of Lana'ihale, a 3,370-ft-high windswept perch in the eastern reaches, you'll find a splendid view of nearly every Hawaiian island. Worth visiting on Lanai: Hulopo'e Beach Garden of the Gods Lanai City Lanaihale Shipwreck Beach or Kai Olohia Looking For the Best Hawaii Honeymoon Location or Wedding Destination? To find your Romantic Getaway on the Lanai, Hawaii, click here. Molokai Molokai is often called "The Friendly Island", because of the aloha spirit that flourishes there. Molokai is one of the least visited of all the Hawaiian Islands...which makes it so special. Molokai is a quiet, slow-paced retreat that epitomizes the South Seas paradise that first sparked tourist interest. With a population of roughly 7,000 (compared to Oahu's nearly 1 million), it has the highest percentage of residents with Hawaiian blood - roughly 50%. The island opens its heart to you along its shimmering reef and spectacular sea cliffs.

Hey! Big spenders New research shows just where tourists drop their money during stays in Hawaii By Allison Schaefers aschaefers@starbulletin.com ILLUSTRATIONS BY BRYANT FUKUTOMI / BFUKUTOMI@STARBULLETIN.COM China / South Korea travelers » More than 50 percent of these Asian visitors are first-timers and about a quarter of them come as part of a package tour. » Most come to visit friends or family (more than 28 percent), on business, or as part of a stopover, as stringent Visa requirements and a lack of flights has made Hawaii a difficult vacation destination. » In terms of activities, they are statistically similar to Americans, but plan to spend more money. » Most plan to attend a luau and 30 percent intend to play golf, the most of any other group surveyed. United States travelers » American travelers plan to stay longer and spend the least amount of money on retail and souvenirs. » They are most likely to engage in sports like running, scuba or going to the gym, but have the smallest percentage of people who planned to swim or sunbathe. » Americans are more likely to attend a luau, go to a Hawaiian history or cultural event and buy Hawaiian clothing and souvenirs than Japan or other Asian travelers. » They enjoy shopping at convenience stores, malls or hotel stores. They are also the most likely to go to a museum or art gallery or eat in high-end restaurants. Japan travelers » More than 60 percent of Japan travelers come to Hawaii as part of a package group. » These visitors plan to stay the least amount of time and spend the most money. » They are most likely to come to Hawaii to celebrate a wedding or honeymoon than any other group. » They are most interested in going to the beach and shopping while in Hawaii, but few plan to do any activities or eat in high-end restaurants. » They enjoy shopping across the board from outlet and discount stores to designer boutiques. While tourists from Japan and the mainland still pump plenty of money into Hawaii's retail stores, a more global mix of visitors is at the heart of Hawaii's improved tourism outlook, and their preferences are worlds apart. A new cross-cultural study from the University of Hawaii is available to help retailers take stock of what tourists buy, so local stores can match merchandise with spending habits. University of Hawaii marketing professor Mark Rosenbaum and travel industry management professor Dan Spears randomly surveyed more than 1,000 Waikiki tourists to determine cultural differences regarding their reasons for coming to Hawaii, their desire to shop and what purchases they planned to make during their stay. "Not all tourists are alike," Rosenbaum said. "Your target market should greatly impact how you merchandise and what products you stock." Hawaii's retail history gives businesses strong reasons to diversify their customer base, said retail analyst Stephany Sofos. "In the 1980s, the Japanese people came fast and furious and those who didn't cater to them were left out. Now it's changing, and as visitor groups change, retailers are having to figure out what their market is from one day to the next," Sofos said. The University of Hawaii study can help tourist-dependent businesses identify how to best keep their customers happy and how to increase spending from other visitor groups, Spears said. Their research showed that Japanese tourists plan to spend $1,400 on gifts and souvenirs during their stay in Hawaii, which is substantially more than all other visitor groups. According to the study, Chinese and Koreans spend about $750 on retail items and Americans spend around $600. They also found differences when it came to purchasing local foods, clothing and engaging in outdoor activities as well as differences in why these tourists groups were coming to Hawaii. For example, Americans and Japanese came to Hawaii primarily to vacation, while the Chinese and South Korean visitors were in Hawaii primarily to visit family members. Chinese visitors can only travel for leisure to a few designations, which does not include Hawaii. "Most Japanese will spend their vacation shopping at both high-end and discount retailers," Rosenbaum said, adding that data also confirmed the love-affair Japanese have with designer items. Nearly 60 percent of the Japanese visitors surveyed planned to visit Hawaii's designer boutiques; in contrast, only 35 percent of Americans planned to do so. However, the number of Japan travelers who plan to purchase products made in Hawaii, such as coffee, food and clothing, is lower than other groups. "The Japanese are the answer to our luxury business - not our economy," Rosenbaum said, adding that purchases of locally made products create more jobs and ultimately bring more benefit to the state. Visitors, who spend about $3 billion annually on retail goods in Hawaii, make up about 15 percent of the state's $19 billion retail market, said Carol Pregill, president of the Retail Merchants of Hawaii. The islands drew 6.4 million visitors last year, about two-thirds of them from the mainland. "Shopping is the third largest expenditure, next to food and lodging, for visitors," Pregill said, adding that about 20 percent of visitor expenditures can be attributed to shopping. "That's huge when you consider that shopping is a discretionary expense," Pregill said, and is an important part of a visitor's experience. But to make Hawaii shopping attractive to visitors it has to be distinctive, said Frank Haas, marketing director for the Hawaii Tourism Authority. "You can shop in Hong Kong and Las Vegas; what we need to know is what's distinctive about shopping in Hawaii," Haas said. As Oahu's visitor market stays strong, many retailers are going to take advantage of more visitor-based opportunities, said Jeffrey Hall, senior director of research at CB Richard Ellis. "There's huge amount of interest in redoing resort retail, especially in Waikiki," Hall said. According to market reports, Waikiki has a high number of retail vacancies, but in three to four years the sector will be more bullish as Waikiki renovation projects come to fruition, Hall forecasts. "The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center is rapidly changing. The Beach Walk and the International Market Place projects are just getting under way," Hall said. "Expect that in a few years Waikiki will be an entirely different place." Any shift in visitor demographics changes the way businesses advertise their products. "It's important to know who is coming and what you need for inventory," Pregill said. "Inventory is a huge expense and no one wants to be stuck with goods that no one want to buy." That's where the Rosenbaum and Spears study comes in, said Anne Murata, marketing director of the Festival Cos., which manages the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Murata said she purchased the study because it's the first retail survey in Hawaii that breaks data into small categories such as visitors' reasons for traveling to Hawaii, ability to spend and where they spend their money. Retailers are especially interested on the data about Chinese and South Korean visitors, she said. While Chinese and Korean visitors have more in common with Americans in terms of overall spending, their spending habits are very similar to the Japanese visitor market when it was new, Murata said. In the 1990s, when the Japanese tourism boom to Hawaii was growing, the state's largest industry went to great lengths to cater to their needs. Japanese signs ruled Waikiki marketing; but then the bubble burst and retailers had to regroup to stay in business. "We've been trained to think only in terms of U.S. westbound and Japan travelers," she said. "But our retail market is becoming increasingly global and we're starting to see more travelers from China, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the U.S. East." Japanese visitor arrivals to Hawaii, which peaked at 2.2 million in 1997, fell to 1.3 million last year in response to a weakened Japanese economy and geopolitical troubles. Retailers say the market has rebounded, but it's time for those eyeing Hawaii's improved market to use the isles' changing tourist patterns to help determine what's in store. Although the China travel market to Hawaii is small, representing less than 1 percent of Hawaii's total visitors in 2002, state officials have identified it as a market with enormous potential. New research shows that Chinese tourists are now the biggest spenders in the Asia-Pacific region by average credit card transaction size, according to a study released by Visa. The report, published last week in the Financial Times, said Chinese cardholders on average spent $253 per transaction while traveling. The World Tourism Organization has also estimated that China will produce 100 million outbound tourists by 2020 and members of Hawaii's public and private sector want their share. "Just like we geared retail to the Japan market in its heyday, someday I expect we'll see retail signs in Chinese and Korean, too," Murata said. According to the Rosenbaum and Spears survey, the Chinese, enjoy participating in new activities, but look for familiarity in restaurants - characteristics similar to Japanese visitors before Hawaii became a common destination, "They only want to eat in Chinese restaurants," Rosenbaum said. But, more important for retailers is that the Chinese also appear to have a taste for luxury goods. "The Chinese, like the Japanese, also want to purchase luxury goods as gifts to take home," Spears said. While retailers need accurate data to capture their audience, there is one sure plan that works across cultures, Murata said. "One thing you can always sell them is the aloha spirit - that's an approach that works with visitors from China to Lithuania," Murata said. BACK TO TOP | The Hawaii experience A new University of Hawaii study of tourist spending habits raised some interesting questions. For instance, do Japan travelers, who planned to spend $1,400 on gifts and souvenirs during their stay in Hawaii, really contribute the most money to Hawaii's economy? While Americans, who planned to spend about $600 on retail, and Chinese/ Koreans, who planned to spend about $750, lagged behind in overall spending, the data showed that these groups spent significantly more on made-in-Hawaii products.

I’m moving all of my content from the content management system that I’ve been using to maintain NahenaheNet for the past 6 years, Manila , to this new WordPress system. There are a lot of things about Manila that I will miss, and some things that WordPress can do better. It was a tough decision, but necessary and timely for other reasons. You can visit the new NahenaheNet blog at http://www.mauicast.net/nahenahe/ and perhaps you would like to bookmark that page.
