VISITOR SAFETY BROCHURE RELEASED
The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) and the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii (VASH) have recently launched a Safety eBrochure. This tool provides visitors, residents and industry partners with safety tips from state and county agencies to ensure safe and enjoyable travel experiences throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The eBrochure provides another outlet to communicate recommended safety measures, to keep visitors aware and informed in taking proper precautions while in Hawaii. Available in English, the Safety Brochure will be translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean later this year. It is currently available for download on the HTA’s Travel Smart Hawaii web site. The HTA, VASH and other businesses and organizations have been able to assist over 2,000 visitors annually who have encountered hardship while vacationing in Hawaii. The HTA’s Travel Smart Hawaii website also serves as an online resource to access practical information on travel throughout the Hawaiian Islands. It also includes pre-arrival travel tips, a guide to customs and visas and other basic information about the destination and environment. (http://www.travelsmarthawaii.com)
