Longtime KHON2 TV anchor Marisa Yamane is leaving the world of news broadcasting to promote the Aloha state’s tourism industry.

She will take over in the role on May 6.

"I met with the president and he has a great vision and I definitely can see myself making a positive impact there and helping out Hawaii’s No. 1 industry," Yamane said.

Her remit will be ‘supporting the wonderful work being done in our neighborhoods by community groups dedicated to perpetuating Hawaiian culture, protecting the environment and showcasing festivals and events," said HTA president Chris Tatum.
