Bridges’ primary responsibilities include partnering with the Hawaii Tourism Authority’s global marketing team on visitor education and visitor industry engagement in the following key market areas: United States, Japan, Canada, Oceania, Korea, China and Europe.
Bridges will create and implement sales familiarization (FAM) tours and site visits to introduce the island to travel consultants and MICE professionals and encourage serious visits.
In addition, Bridges will work closely with IHVB’s Director of Sales to develop a calendar of opportunities in HTA’s key market areas to provide educational support to visitors to the island during promotions, trade shows and tour missions.
Bridges, who grew up in Hāmākua on Hawaii Island, is no stranger to the hospitality industry as she previously held sales management positions at Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Hawaii Island Tourism Authority. Bridges is a haumana of Hālau Manaola and an educator and cultural practitioner of Polynesian music and arts.
