No aloha from Hawaii tourism officials after German shark attack victim dies
August 24, 2013
Shark attacks of course are bad news when promoting a tourism destination. Is it ok for a Tourism Board to ignore a death of a visitor?
Shark attacks of course are bad news when promoting a tourism destination. Is it ok for a Tourism Board to ignore a death of a visitor? ETN Publisher Juergen Thomas Steinmetz, who is also the Chairman of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners, a member of the Export Council (US Department of Commerce) in Honolulu, and President of the private Hawaii Tourism Association didn’t think so. ETN had been waiting for a word of sympathy and a media statement from the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) responsible for promoting tourism to the US State of Hawaii globally, or from Hawaii Governor Abercrombie. ETN contacted HTA to get such a statement without response.
