The eyes of the world will be upon us for at least two days and maybe for four or five days. We already have a strong leisure brand; APEC gives us an opportunity to position Hawaii as a place for high-level meetings and more.
Two of Hawaii's largest hotel Hilton and Starwood r likely to host three of the top countries at the 2011 (APEC)Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November, and other hotels cleared for the high-level international event are in the final stages of negotiations and they also be adding jook, fried doughnuts and hot soy milk .
Starwood Hotels & Resorts will host China at the Sheraton Waikiki.
Sources said that the Hilton Hawaiian Village is close to signing the U.S. delegation for APEC who is familiar with APEC plans in Hawaii. The chain also could host Japan at its Prince Kuhio resort.
With these bookings and others, Hawaii is about a third of the way to realizing the 120,000 or so hotel nights that will be booked in connection with APEC thats really awesom.
