The Hawaii Tourism Authority is pleased to announce this year’s Fall Tourism Update will be held on the island of Hawaii on November 18-19.

The goal is to inform, collaborate and integrate the industry, our culture, our community and natural resources as we work together to manage tourism in the Hawaiian Islands.

As noted in the schedule below, the Fall Tourism Update will resemble the Spring Update, which was held on Oahu in March and replaces what was previously known as the Global Tourism Summit.

Please mark your calendars and plan to participate in the Fall Tourism Update at Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Kohala Coast. Registration information and more details will be forthcoming.
