A warm congratulations from all of us at aio Media Group and the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association.

The 2nd annual aio Media Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Awards aims to recognize excellence in the tourism industry. Earlier this fall, we did a callout to the community and public to nominate companies and individuals who deserved to be recognized for their accomplishments.

Tiki’s Grill and Bar is a finalist in the category Casual Dining.

We will be recognizing all of the finalists and announcing the award recipients at a banquet on Friday, March 1, 2019 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Great Lawn. The banquet is from 5-9 p.m.

We will be mailing you a letter and official invitation to the event in January, so please keep an eye out for it!

The Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Awards were formed, through a partnership between aio Media Group and the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association, to recognize these industry professionals, as well as the events, businesses and organizations that bring people flocking to Hawaii's shores.

Nominations for the second annual Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Awards are currently open for 18 awards in 6 overall categories including accommodations, food and beverage, events, activities, leadership in the industry and agritourism.

"There are many individuals and enterprises that contribute to our visitor industry. While the HLTA traditionally honors the top hospitality employees each year, the aio Media Awards confer well-deserved recognition on those leaders in the industry who also make invaluable contributions to our success. These awards reward excellence, and you can never accord enough recognition for the best among us," said Mufi Hannemann, President & CEO of the HLTA.

Founded in 1947, HLTA is the largest nonprofit trade association of lodging properties, management firms, owners and related businesses. In addition to hotels, resorts, transportation companies and tourism attractions, its nearly 700 local, national and international members include retailers, products suppliers, service providers, restaurants, media and more. HLTA also hosts the Charity Walk, the state’s largest single day fundraiser. This year, the 40th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk raised over $2.6 million statewide.
