In an industry where face time is worth more than frequent flyer points, Hilton Hotels is whisking Aussie and Kiwi travel agents away – virtually, mind you – to the sunny shores of Hawai‘i. And you won’t even need to wrangle a boarding pass or worry about the time difference.

Mark your calendars: Wednesday, 20 August at 12:00 pm AEST (2:00 pm NZST) is when the islands come calling. Hilton’s much-anticipated webinar will showcase five of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated resorts, with their trusted sales leaders offering the kind of inside scoop you can’t pick up from a brochure or, heaven forbid, a TikTok reel.

This isn’t just a “Zoom and doom” session—this is your golden opportunity to equip yourself with the tools, tricks, and tropically infused insights to craft unforgettable Hawaiian holidays for your clients.

Let’s break down the Hawaiian hospitality heavyweights gracing the webinar stage:

🌴 Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort – Maui

Presented by: Sara Bill, Assistant Director of Sales, Leisure
Sara will unveil the latest enhancements at this ultra-luxe Maui marvel, nestled on 40 acres of lush gardens and just a coconut’s toss from Wailea Beach. Think opulence meets old-world aloha – with enough glamour to impress even the most seasoned high-flyers.

🏖️ Ka La‘i Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts – O‘ahu

Presented by: Patsy Narimatsu, Director of Sales and Marketing
Patsy returns to centre stage with Ka La‘i – a tranquil hideaway that proves Waikiki isn’t all board shorts and beach bars. It’s elegance redefined under the LXR umbrella, and she’s ready to explain why this boutique beauty is the rising star of Honolulu’s luxury scene.

🍍 DoubleTree by Hilton Alana Waikiki Beach – O‘ahu

Presented by: Angela Gosling, Director of Sales and Marketing
Angela will walk agents through this hidden gem, perfectly placed between the buzz of Waikiki and the charm of Ala Moana. And yes, the famous warm cookie on check-in still makes a cameo – but the real treat lies in its boutique-style rooms and laid-back service.

🐢 Hilton Hawaiian Village & Hilton Waikoloa Village

Presented by: Kelly Strickland, Area Director of Leisure Sales
Kelly – no stranger to Aussie agents – brings updates from not one, but two Hawaiian giants. From the sprawling, family-friendly paradise of Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu to the Big Island’s seaside sanctuary, Hilton Waikoloa Village, she’ll serve the latest news, upgrades, and booking tips hot off the hibachi.

🎓 Why You Should Tune In

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a babymoon or a ‘save me from winter’ escape, clients trust you to know what’s what. This webinar will sharpen your knowledge and sweeten your sales pitch, giving you firsthand updates from Hilton’s on-island leaders. No guesswork. No jargon. Just the kind of intelligence that makes you indispensable.

In this market, staying relevant is about more than just competitive pricing. It’s about storytelling, connection, and a solid product match. Hilton’s team understands that, and they’re giving agents the tools to keep their Hawaiian portfolios fresh, factual, and fabulous.

💻 Important Registration Reminder

Once you register, check your junk or spam folder for the confirmation email – that elusive link tends to take the scenic route. But don’t let it beach itself in the inbox wilderness – this is one link you don’t want to miss.

So, fellow agents, bring your curiosity, coffee (or cocktail, we won’t judge), and get ready to ride the Hilton wave to Hawai‘i.
