The Big Island Visitors Bureau announced the launch
of its recently redesigned website: WWW.BIGISLAND.ORG
Please take a moment to browse this exciting new
site.
There is now a very detailed section on "Spa and
Wellness" travel. Our association is featured as a
related link on these pages.
Findings
from Yesawich, Pepperdine, Brown & Russell's 2006
Portrait of Affluent Travelers report recently
disseminated to Hawaii tourism executives indicate
that
nearly half of all affluent travelers -- defined as
having
household income over $150,000 a year -- visited a
luxury hotel or resort spa at least once during the
past
year. Others sought great meals. The report said spa
activity is increasing in popularity, and is one of the
primary purposes of vacation for a growing number of
travelers. "This trend appears to be a direct result of
the
growing level of stress in contemporary life, and
corresponding desire to be pampered," HVCB said in
summarizing the YPB&R report.
BIVB is currently working on its 2008 Marketing Plan
and requests your input and ideas on how to best
market spa and
wellness travel to Hawaii Island. Please take a
