The Hawaii Venture Capital Association will hold a ThinkTech Tourism 2012 discussion at 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. February 23 at the Plaza Club in Pioneer Plaza, Downtown Honolulu.
The forum will cover post-APEC tourism in Hawaii. It will cover questions like: how has tourism changed over the past couple of years and how is it changing now? What are the current investment opportunities and challenges for the industry? What growth can we expect? Will it continue to be the driver of our economy? How can it be coordinated with other drivers? What incentives will be helpful?
Registration starts at 11:30 a.m. and the panel presentations begin at noon.
