The Mālama Initiative includes touchpoints throughout the visitor experience. The Mālama journey starts in Japan at the airport desk with an Aloha Ambassador introducing the Mālama mindset. Arriving visitors learn more about Malama at our XX Marketing desk in all islands. During their vacation, visitors are invited and encourages to participate in Mālama activities. Before returning to Japan, HGV Owners and Guests receive exclusive Mālama gifts at Malama Desk which is Hawaii Tourism Satellite office and the opportunity to support a local nonprofit organization at the Honolulu International airport.
HGV continues to connect with visitors even after their return to Japan through membership emails, blogs, and social media – all urging them to live and share Mālama every day.
