Our partners from Hawaii came all the way to participate in the Aloha Canada 2023 Roadshow this evening.

They shared many important details about their islands but most importantly to bring compassion and respect when coming to the Hawaiian Islands. Since the Maui fires in August, tourism has slowed down and they all can use our support by bringing tourism back. Some important takeaways from this evening include:

*Supporting the local businesses
*Show compassion to the locals..do not bring up what they've gone through nor ask them to relive the past. Help them move forward instead.
*If you see a memorial service happening or a site, do not take photos. Let us respect the moment and walk on to provide the privacy they need to heal

All the islands can use the tourism. Let's fill these planes and show them the compassion that Canadians are known for!

To Aloha Canada, thank you for the hospitality and taking the time to come share the love you have for your islands.

See you tomorrow night YVR.

A big Thank You to our charming hosts, Sophie Velas and Gerado Vela for a fun and interactive evening at the ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen. It was so fitting that we all learned to cook by Chef Darcy, a Mexican Fiesta to wow our families and friends.

We learned all about the spectacular properties:

Grand Velas Los Cabos
Mar Del Cabo by Velas Resorts (+16y)
Grand Velas Boutique (Adults only).

These properties are a must experience!
