In Hawaiian culture, a lei is never expected. “It’s always a gift, and it’s an adornment,” said Lahela Spencer, Hawaiian culture specialist at Hilton Waikoloa Village, the host resort of our Meetings Today LIVE! Hawai'i event April 19-22. “It’s not there to match your clothes. It’s not an accessory. It should never be, ‘I’m going to Hawai'i, where’s my lei?’ But because it’s been a part of the industry for so long, it’s become an expectation.”
