Member Testimonials
“I have had the privilege of being a member of HVCB for well over 30 years. The current and future information I have gained from my membership has been professionally instrumental to my career. The hotel lodging and tourism business has certainly become more complex over the last few decades. We must be aware of what motivates our customers to “Buy Hawaiʻi” and turn dreams into bookings. HVCB has been a unique resource to help provide the marketing savvy that brings people to our islands and ensures them a reason to return time and time again. I am proud to be a member and chairperson of this great organization. Thank you to the entire team at HVCB that works tirelessly to showcase the Hawaiian Islands that we share proudly with the rest of the world.”

“Mahalo for the partnership and successes that our hotel and HVCB has had since we opened 15 years ago. We have benefited from HVCB marketing efforts, coop opportunities and community projects and coupled with HVCB staff’s Aloha spirit and passion for Hawaiʻi makes it truly a rewarding experience to work with them. We look forward to many more years with HVCB to foster our love of our Hawaiian islands and make it a better place to live and visit for all to experience!”

“The HVCB plays an integral role in not only ensuring the success of our state’s number one industry and economy, but also in sharing Hawaiʻi’s message of aloha around the world. As we all work together to welcome our guests to Hawaiʻi in a responsible and mindful way, the HVCB will continue to be a key partner in instilling a deeper understanding and appreciation of our islands’ unique culture, places and people through their innovative programs. We’re proud to be an HVCB member and encourage all organizations that are connected to Hawai‘i tourism to join us!”

“HVCB is vitally important to its members, the visitor industry and all the people of Hawaiʻi. Through its disciplined approach to market analysis and research, its creativity and effective use of resources, HVCB has continued to serve all of Hawai‘i by strengthening the brand and creating demand to travel to these beautiful islands.”
John Morgan
Kualoa Ranch
“I just can’t say enough about the Kauaʻi Visitors Bureau (KVB) and how their services have benefited us. Truly dedicated professionals, their hearts are full of genuine aloha especially when it comes to the well-being of our islands. How to stay prepared for hurricane season, organizing a FAM tour, attending their many well-organized and informative social media, strategy and market insight meetings, utilizing our membership services… our membership benefits and co-op opportunities are invaluable. To grow your business and be a part of something special, you’ll definitely want to become a member of the KVB.”

They are exceptional ambassadors for Hawaii and a treasure for our communities and businesses locally that rely on them to not only promote our island destinations in a very competitive international marketplace but also to protect our local family values and our cherished Hawaiian culture when doing so.”

“HVCB membership gives our small business an international platform from which to spread Aloha with the world. As a first stop for most visitors, HVCB's website and print materials are produced with care, closely aligned with our core values of environmental stewardship, protection of Hawaiian cultural heritage and engagement with the local community. We are proud to be featured in their repertoire of visitor activities. As a member, we know that the HVCB staff have our back. They are eager to connect us to our visitor industry partners and promote us to the world. Mahalo for all that you do!”
