Creative Holidays’ 2012 Hawaii program is out now, with a fresh new look and showcasing the best of Hawaii, and its islands. The new brochure offers Australian consultants, and their clients, access to the broadest range of accommodation, touring, car-hire and sightseeing on the Hawaiian Islands.
The 2012 program covers Oahu, Maui, Hawaii (the big island) and Kauai as well as presenting dedicated sections on car hire and self-drive and Hawaiian cruising.
Delivering on its commitment to be a one-stop-shop, the 2012 Creative Holidays Hawaii program brochures the old favourites as well as a comprehensive range of new options. From new five-star properties like the Makena Golf Resort and Spa on Maui and the St Regis Princeville on Kaui through to quality new three-star accommodation like the Hotel Renew, located just half a block from the famous Waikiki Beach.
Creative Holidays’ 2012 program also boasts seven new sightseeing experiences and, exclusive to Creative Holidays, Hawaii Drive O, a hassle-free suggested self drive option.
Paul McGrath, managing director, Creative Holidays said, “Australian’s have always loved Hawaii, a destination with unbelievably beautiful weather and something to suit everyone, whether it’s family fun, action, a romantic getaway or sun, sand and surf on a trip with friends. This broad appeal has seen Hawaii sales continue to go from strength to strength.
“2011 saw Hawaii grow exponentially, a trend that’s set to continue as travellers take advantage of Hawaiian Airlines’ increased flight schedules and the introduction of Strategic Airlines’ direct flights from Melbourne and Brisbane, which will open the market up further.
“On the back of such strong sales, and with the region destined to experience continued growth, we have expanded our offering in 2012 launching eight new properties and an extensive range of new touring and sightseeing.
“Self-drive is a wonderful way to get out and explore Hawaii, with good roads and easy driving travellers can enjoy the freedom of going where they want, when they want. With this in mind, we’ve launched our exclusive Hawaii Drive O self-drive option, which will allow the trade to give their clients the inspiration and know-how to hire a car with GPS and explore Oahu. We expect this style of product to be particularly appealing to repeat visitors looking for something new, or those looking to add a unique element to their Hawaiian holiday.
“The great value a Hawaiian holiday represents has resulted in an increase in visitors upgrading from three and four-star properties to four-and-half and five-star accommodation. Up-selling and recommending the amazing premier properties in Hawaii is made easier for agents as we’ve identified some of the best with our Spoil Yourself range, which highlights Hawaii’s most exclusive and exceptional properties, such as the Halekulani in Waikiki or The Kahala Hotel and Resort in Kahala.
“We’ve also seen the family market jump at the chance to enjoy Disney’s new property, Disney Aulani Resort, with strong early bookings since its launch in August. Disney Aulani Resort combines the beauty and culture of Hawaii with the magic of Disney alongside enchanting entertainment, including pool parties, fire-pit story telling, character meet and greets, wellness activities and so much more.
“Despite new product and increased flight capacity, we recommend agents book their clients early to ensure they don’t miss out as more and more Australians recognise that Hawaii really is better value than ever”.
