02-01-2008

 

 

HONOLULU – Panda Travel, one of Hawaii’s oldest, largest and most respected travel agencies, has launched HawaiiGayTravel.com, an easy-to-use, Hawaii travel-booking site targeted to the gay and lesbian community. The new site offers the most hotel and activity packages, widest availability of airfare and the lowest available prices  – for an ultimate Hawaiian getaway.

 

HawaiiGayTravel.com offers a long list of useful travel tools and is a member of the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association, the world’s leading travel trade association--making the new full-service website the first-choice travel source for the gay and lesbian community.

 

“We developed this site in collaboration with travel agents, product managers and editors from within the gay and lesbian community,” said Michael Person, Director of Online Marketing for Panda Travel, Inc. “The content and offerings on the site are in sync with the feedback and input we got from those expert advisors. We have extensively researched the packages and attractions featured on the site to be sure we are offering the best, most reliable information for the gay and lesbian community.”

 

Perhaps the most important benefit for users of HawaiiGayTravel.com is the offline assistance Panda Travel’s agents provide to clients. Because Panda agents are residents of Hawaii, they are available to personally help clients with any issues or assistance before, during and after their vacation.  

 

Simple and quick navigation allows HawaiiGayTravel.com customers to effortlessly peruse Hawaii’s various shopping, dining and hotel options. The Hot Special Deals page lists Hawaii’s best specials including free nights, room upgrades, commitment ceremonies or anniversary packages and free food and beverage credits – great benefits not offered on other Hawaii travel booking websites.

 

When travelers prefer a particular brand of hotels, the website offers all of Hawaii’s most popular, locally- or independently-owned luxury, high-end or moderate brands of hotels. Instead of buying each vacation component separately, customers can book packages complete with air, room and car and receive savings of as much as $200.

 

On HawaiiGayTravel.com, customers also have access to an extensive Hawaii travel blog where they can learn about insider tips, the hottest new offerings from Hawaii hotels, community attractions and activities—all handy when planning a Hawaiian get-a-way.
