Hoʻōla Nā Pua is hosting, Campaign for a Safer Community, presented by the Hawai`i Tourism Authority and in partnership with the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association. We invite visitor industry management to join us for a half day symposium to raise awareness and combat sex trafficking. A symposium will be held on each island: Please visit following links for each respective island.
The state of Hawai`i is world renowned as a culturally authentic and unique destination for honeymoons and family vacations.

Not on our property and not in our islands.
