Pau ka Turismo o Hawaii? ʻO HTA Aliʻi e pili ana i ka mahuka i Colorado

Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia no ka ʻāpana kipa o Hawaiʻi i kēia lā i ka manawa a Chris Tatum, ka Pelekikena o ka Mana Hoʻokele Hoʻokele o Hawaii, i hōʻike ai i kāna koho no ka hilinaʻi ʻole i ka Pōʻakahi a ua hoʻolaha ʻo ia e neʻe ʻo ia i Colorado no kahi hoʻomaha loa i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a haʻalele hoʻi Aloha Mokuʻāina ma hope.

ʻO Chris Tatum ka Pelekikena o ka Hawaii Alakaʻi Oihana, ka 'agena moku'āina i kuleana no kaʻoihana nui loa o Hawaii - kaʻoihana kipa Hawaii. Ke nānā nei nā poʻe āpau o ka mokuʻāina a waihona kālā ma luna o Mr. Chris Tatum e alakaʻi i ka hoʻokele waiwai mai kahi hāʻule manuahi o ka hōʻemi ʻana o ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa ʻo Hawaiʻi.

Ke kū nei ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Hawaii i nā pilikia nui a me nā pilikia i loko o kona mōʻaukala ma muli o COVID-19. Manaʻo ʻia ke kiaʻāina e hoʻolōʻihi i nā koina quarantine no ka poʻe kipa ma ka liʻiliʻi a hiki i Iulai 31, 2020. ʻO ka hana ʻole ma muli o ka pani ʻana o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi mai ka piha o ka hana piha a hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hana ʻole ma United States. ʻOi aku kēia no ke kāne e mālama ana i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi a me nā ʻoihana hoʻokipa.

ʻO ke kāne me ka ʻoihana uku kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka ʻāpana lehulehu o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi a me nā ʻoihana hoʻokipa a ʻo wai ua lawe ae i ka noho o Peresidena o ka Hawaii Tourism Authority Ke kīloi nei ʻo 18 mau mahina i hala i ke kāwele a kāhea iā ia e haʻalele no kahi hoʻomaha loa. Uku aku nā mea ʻauhau iā ia i $ 270,000 i ka makahiki.

Ke aniani nei kāna haʻalele ʻana i ke kūlana hoʻonāukiuki o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Hawaii. Hōʻike paha ia i ke kumu i kiʻi ʻole ai a hoʻihoʻi mai ai i nā kelepona i ke kanaka o ka Manaʻo Hoʻomākaʻikaʻi Hawaiʻi, a no ke aha i pane ʻole ai kekahi i ke kelepona a pane paha i nā leka uila mai ka wā a COVID-19 i hoʻolei ai i ka bipi kālā a ka mokuʻāina ʻo Hawaii ma ka pukaaniani a nalowale i ka pō.

ʻO Chris Tatum i ka huakaʻi a me ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa no kahi o 40 mau makahiki me kahi ʻoihana hanohano ma Marriott Hotel a me Resorts. ʻO kāna ʻoihana ma ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa i hoʻomaka ma ke ʻano he kahu hale ma ka Royal Hawaiian Hotel ma kāna home kau mai ke koleke.

Ma hope o kona puka 'ana mai ke Kulanui Moku'āina o Michigan i ka makahiki 1981 me ke kēkelē laepua ma ka hōkele a me ka hale 'aina, ua kōkua 'o Tatum i ka wehe 'ana i ka Maui Marriott Resort & Ocean Club ma Kaanapali a ma hope iho ua pi'i mau 'o ia ma nā kūlana alaka'i me Marriott ma ka 'āina nui o US. ma Asia a me Australia.

ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi kahi ʻoihana a kēlā me kēia i kahi mokuʻāina kahi ʻoihana nui ka mākaʻikaʻi. Me Tatum e hāʻawi nei i ka leka HTA, he puʻupuʻu ia i kēia ʻoihana a me ka hoʻokele waiwai o Hawaii e hiki mai ana. Ua hoʻohiki ʻo Tatum e hoʻohana i ka manawa ma waena o kēia manawa a me ʻAukake 31 e hōʻoia i kahi "hoʻololi maikaʻi." Ma hope o kēia, e haʻalele ʻo ia i ka Aloha ʻO ka mokuʻāina ma hope a neʻe iā ia a me kona ʻohana i Colorado.

Hoʻolei hou kēia iā Hawaii Tourism i loko o kahi poho alakaʻi ʻole a me kēia mau mea āpau ke pono ke alakaʻi ikaika no ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka mokuʻāina holoʻokoʻa. ʻ toldlelo aku ʻo Tatum i ka Honolulu Advertiser: “Ua hōʻike wau i ka noho o ka papa i ka Pōʻakahi, a ua haʻi wau i kaʻu poʻe limahana i kēia lā. Hauʻoli wau i ka mea a mākou i hana ai. Haʻaheo loa wau i ka kime HTA a me kā mākou hoʻolālā hou i hoʻomohala e hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā kaulike no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana. I kēia manawa, makemake wau e hele iā mākou i loko o ka quarantine a kōkua me ka ʻāpana hoʻōla a me ke ala loa i hope. ”

ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana i kēia hana uku nui ma Hawaii i kēia manawa e hōʻoia i kahi līkaia nui.

"Ma hope o ia, ka luawai," he ʻōlelo ma ʻEulopa.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mana mana o ka hoʻolaha e HTA ma hope o ka paʻi ʻia ʻana o ka ʻāpana mua o kēia ʻatikala.

Ua koho ʻia ʻo Tatum i ke kūlana mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe no ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Hawaii i ka lā Kēkēmapa 2018 ma hope o kahi makahiki he 37 me Marriott International. Ma lalo o kāna alakaʻi ʻana, ua hoʻokumu ʻo HTA i ke alakaʻi o Hawaii no ka wā e hiki mai ana ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana me kāna Plan Strategic 2020-2025. Ke hoʻokau nei ʻo HTA i ka nānā nui ʻana i ka hoʻokele wahi, kahi e hoʻokomo nei i ka manawa a me ke kālā i nā papahana e kākoʻo i ke kaiāulu, e hoʻomau i ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi, a pale i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe o Hawaiʻi. Kākoʻo pū ʻo ia no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hana ma ka mākaʻikaʻi e hāʻawi i nā haumāna kūloko me ka manawa kūpono i ka hoʻokipa. "Haʻaheo loa wau i ka kime HTA a me kā mākou hoʻolālā hou i hoʻomohala ʻia e hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā kaulike no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana. Me ka hana pū ʻana mai ke kaiāulu, pono mākou e hana i kahi ʻoihana hoʻomau e mahalo i ka moʻomeheu a pale i ko mākou kaiapuni no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana. Hoʻolālā wau e hoʻolilo i ʻekolu mau mahina e hana pū me ka papa HTA ma ka hoʻololi a kākoʻo i nā hana hoʻōla o ka mokuʻāina, "i ʻōlelo ʻo Tatum. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna o ka Papa HTA ʻo Rick Fried, "Akamai ʻo Chris, pono, hoʻonoho mua i nā kamaʻāina o Hawaii, a, ʻo ka mea nui iaʻu, he hoʻopono ʻole ia. I kāna noi ʻana e hele mai i koʻu keʻena i ka Pōʻakahi, manaʻo wau he kūkākūkā wale ia i nā ʻano HTA like ʻole e like me kā mākou e hana nei. Ma hope o kekahi mau minuke o ke kamaʻilio ʻana ua hāʻawi ʻo ia iaʻu i kahi envelope ʻeleʻele me kāna leka haʻalele a wehewehe i kona noʻonoʻo. Hana wau me nā hihia kaumaha he nui, akā ua haehae wau i ka wā i maopopo ai he hopena kāna. " Ua ʻōlelo ʻo HTA Luna Hoʻokele Nui ʻo Keith Regan, "He mea pōmaikaʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manawa e hana pū me Chris. Mai ka lā mua, hōʻike ʻo ia i nā ʻano maikaʻi a pau āu e manaʻo ai mai kahi alakaʻi maoli. Ma waho aʻe o kāna manaʻo hoʻoholo a makemake nui, ʻo ka mea aʻu i mahalo nui ai ʻo kona makemake e kaʻana like, aʻo, a aʻo i ka poʻe a puni iā ​​​​ia ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka hui holoʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻonoho ʻo ia iā HTA ma ka wāwae ʻākau, e kālele ana i ke kaulike a me ka hoʻomau. He aie nui ko makou ia ia, a he aie maoli no au iaia no kona alakai maikai ana. Ma mua o kona komo ʻana i HTA, ua komo kona ʻike i nā kūlana alakaʻi alakaʻi ma ka ʻāina nui ʻo ʻAmelika, ma ʻAsia, Australia, a me Hawaii. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kahu hale ma ka hōkele ʻo Royal Hawaiian i kona wā kau mai ke koleke. Ua neʻe ʻo Tatum i Hawaii me kona ʻohana ma 1965, i ka wā o kona makuakāne ʻo Lon i lālā no ka US Air Force, a ʻo kona makuahine ʻo Bette he kumu. He haumāna haʻaheo ʻo ia no ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Radford. Ua aloha ka ʻohana Tatum i nā mokupuni a ua hoʻolilo iā Hawaii i home mau loa no lākou. Ma mua o kona hala ʻana ma 2017, he alakaʻi i mahalo nui ʻia ʻo Bette ma ke kaiāulu ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi alakaʻi o ka National Federation of Small Business for the State of Hawaii. Ua haʻalele ʻo Lon mai ka pūʻali koa a kākoʻo i kā Bette ʻoihana a hiki i kona hala ʻana i ka makahiki 2010. ʻO ko kaikunāne ʻo Tatum ʻo Lonnie kahi mea kūleʻa loa i kahi ʻoihana hoʻokele waʻa ma Wakinekona State a hiki i kona hala ʻana i 2004. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo Tatum a me kāna wahine ʻo Peg, ka mea i male ʻia no 28 mau makahiki, e neʻe i Colorado e hoʻomaka i ka wā aʻe o ko lāua ola. "Ma hope o 40 mau makahiki i kahi ʻoihana 24/7, ke lana nei koʻu manaʻo i ka huakaʻi ʻana me Peg a me ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka manawa maikaʻi me kaʻu kaikamahine ʻo Sam a me kaʻu keiki ʻo Alex. Pōmaikaʻi au i ka ulu ʻana a hānai ʻana i kā mākou keiki ma nā mokupuni a ʻo Hawaii nō ko mākou home. ”
