The two-year partnership began on Jan. 1, 2024. This marks a significant milestone as the Hawaiian Islands work to re-establish the destination’s presence, educate visitors about traveling mindfully to support Hawai‘i’s communities, build strategic partnerships, and achieve meaningful growth in the UK and European markets, according to a press release from the authority.

In the wake of the Maui wildfires, welcoming European travelers back to Hawaiʻi is an important part of ensuring tourism’s contributions to Maui’s recovery, the press release said.

“HTA is eager to rejuvenate our longstanding relationships in Europe and support this strengthening visitor source market to help drive economic recovery for Hawai‘i,” said Daniel Nāho‘opi‘i, the interim president and CEO of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority.

Emotive Travel Marketing is well-positioned to fulfill the authority’s goals of encouraging mindful visitation and expenditures, extending length of stay and captivating the imagination of travelers with the luxurious, adventurous, culturally rich, and heritage-infused experiences that Hawai‘i has to offer, all against the stunning backdrop of its natural beauty.

Fleur Sainsbury, director of Emotive Travel Marketing, will be the UK account manager for Hawai‘i.
