A group of Australian travel agents recently swapped the southern winter for sunny Hawaii on a famil hosted by Hawaiian Airlines and Creative Holidays.
The lucky group stayed on Oahu and followed the tourist trail to locations including Pearl Harbour, the USS Arizona Memorial and Paradise Cove Luau. In their down time, they enjoyed Hawaii’s diverse shopping attractions.
Of course, it wasn’t all play and no work – the travel agents also checked out several top Waikiki hotels for the benefit of their clients.
