About
the Hui
A no-fluff, twice-monthly insider read for hospitality and tourism pros who care about Hawaiʻi and the future of the place we call home.
Build a hui, not a list.
We connect Hawaiʻi’s hospitality ʻohana with blunt, useful takes, real news, and the kind of context you only get from people who actually work here. Stronger community, smarter decisions, and a visitor industry that respects place and community.
How we do it
We call it as we see it
Real talk, real news, and stories that cut deep. No PR fluff, no spin.
Local first
Written by people who work in Hawaiʻi hospitality, for the people who run it.
Free, twice a month
The 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 8am HST, plus a monthly hotel performance report.
