The award-winning Outrigger Promise campaign generated tens of thousands of room nights and a return to work for dozens of hotel hosts.

The annual Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Gold Awards recognize exceptional achievement in the travel and tourism industry across the Asia-Pacific region. PATA said that since the inception of the PATA Gold Awards in 1984, the awards “have set industry standards for excellence and innovation, serving as examples for others to follow.” After receiving the award on behalf of Outrigger, Monica Salter (pictured above right), Outrigger VP for Global Communications and Social Responsibility, said that the Outrigger Promise was a bold and innovative marketing campaign that gave travelers confidence to travel safely to Hawai‘i despite challenges caused by COVID. The Outrigger Promise, in effect, underwrote the guest’s satisfaction in their entire Hawai‘i destination experience. If the Outrigger guest wasn’t satisfied with their Hawaii vacation, Outrigger would take responsibility and offer a free stay to any guest, no questions asked. The Outrigger Promise generated tens of thousands of room nights and a return to work for dozens of hotel hosts, many of whom hadn’t worked in months due to COVID-travel impacts. “In a very difficult time for would-be travelers and hotel operators due to COVID, the Outrigger Promise was a resounding marketing success as it also complied with all existing public health guidelines, which were liable to change at short notice,” said Salter. “The Outrigger Promise gave visitors public health confidence due to Outrigger’s Clean Commitment and Hawai‘i Safe Travels protocols. In uncertain times, it gave tourists confidence to book and travel again,” she said. Outrigger has over 70 years of history in Hawai‘i. Outrigger’s founding family opened their first hotel there in 1947. This year, PATA is celebrating its 70th anniversary. It was also founded in Hawai‘i — in 1951. “Both Outrigger and PATA have been on an amazing journey over the last 70 years,” said Salter. “No matter where you travel, Hawai‘i is a beautiful place full of promise that keeps calling you home.” Further information about The Outrigger Promise is available HERE.

Perched above the lava-rock cliffs on the sun-kissed Kona Coast of Hawai‘i’s Big Island, the captivating 22-acre resort offers an idyllic home base for vacationing friends and families, as well as business and leisure groups of all sizes. Introductory rates up-to 30 percent off are now available on Outrigger.com. “Outrigger has provided heartfelt hospitality in Hawai‘i for nearly 75 years and our commitment to this destination remains steadfast; we’re proud to invest in our island home – especially amidst these challenging times,” said Jeff Wagoner, president and CEO of Outrigger Hospitality Group. “Vacations offer precious time to reconnect and recharge; it’s an honor to serve our guests, and we look forward to welcoming travelers to experience this special place renowned for its Hawaiian heritage and healing.” “We deeply appreciate land-owner Kamehameha Schools for entrusting Outrigger with the stewardship of this culturally significant land and look forward to showcasing its illustrious past throughout the resort’s design, artwork and guest activations in an authentic and captivating way,” added Wagoner. On this first day of the resort being an Outrigger, a traditional Hawaiian blessing was led by Kumu Keala Ching and Kumu Kaipo Ho, alongside the resort’s long-time cultural advisor, Rolinda Bean. There was also a sharing of mea ‘ai (symbolic foods) – including ‘ulu (breadfruit), ‘uala (sweet potato), kalo (taro), niu haohao (young coconut), pua‘a (pork) and pa‘akai (sea salt) – followed by an exchange of gifts: 4 Koa paddles engraved with each of Outrigger’s Values and a framed copy of a chant that was written by Kumu Keala Ching for the hosts of the former Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort, now regifted to the new Hosts of the Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa. Outrigger was blessed to be joined at the ceremony by Robert Command, deputy managing director for Mayor Mitch Roth, as well as the Lim and Yap families from Traditions Hawai‘i. Hospitality veteran Steve Solberg, the resort’s new general manager, is conversant with the values of Outrigger Hospitality Group as he led Outrigger’s resort in Guam for six years. “The energy and splendor of this destination are palpable; I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of this resort’s next chapter and work alongside a dedicated team to create unforgettable experiences for our guests,” said Solberg. With more than 500 spacious rooms/suites with private lānai, the grounds also feature Ho‘ola Spa, a wedding chapel, fitness center and two restaurants. Kids and kids at heart will get a kick out of the 200-foot winding waterslide at the oceanfront pool and enjoy Outrigger’s Coral Kids Club – set to open later this year. SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES: Unique to the brand’s premier properties are Outrigger Resorts’ Signature Experiences where guests are invited to ‘escape ordinary’ and immerse themselves in an array of cultural programs and one-of-a-kind localized activities. At Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa, the Signature Experiences include a 90-minute cultural tour that takes guests to the birthplace of King Kamehameha III; the ‘Feast and Fire’ lū‘au that celebrates the historic Keauhou region through song and dance; plus, it’s one of the only places in the world where guests can view giant manta rays and have the experience of a lifetime by snorkeling with them at night. MEETINGS & EVENTS: Located less than 30 minutes from Kona International Airport, the breathtaking oceanfront setting and tropical resort grounds make for striking meeting and event experiences. Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa boasts more than 100,000 square feet of function space – inclusive of four adaptable indoor venues, oceanfront breakout rooms and expansive options for lush outdoor events. The on-site convention center, with a 10,000 square-foot ballroom, is the largest on the Kona Coast and offers state-of-the-art audio-visual amenities to maximize productivity. A private chapel and expansive oceanfront grounds boast stunning views, picture-perfect for weddings and receptions. Custom catering highlights the unique culture of Hawai‘i by pairing locally sourced ingredients, and a dedicated team makes event planning a breeze.

Outrigger Hospitality Group announced today that it has revived its plan to acquire ownership of Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, a 509-room property in a prime oceanfront location on the Island of Hawai‘i. The transaction is expected to close in late-August 2021, at which time the property will be rebranded as Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa. With nearly 75 years of successful leadership in Hawai‘i’s hospitality industry and 25 hotels, resorts and vacation condos across the Hawaiian Islands – Outrigger is uniquely positioned to steward this property. “We are grateful for the opportunity to return to Hawai‘i Island with a full-service Outrigger resort and share the legacy of this remarkable place in a responsible and sustainable manner,” said Jeff Wagoner, president and CEO of Outrigger Hospitality Group. “The COVID-19 pandemic put this purchase on a brief pause, so we’re glad to be back on track and look forward to welcoming guests to our new home.” This investment is directly aligned with Outrigger’s strategic business plan to expand its presence in Hawai‘i and beyond, furthering its mission to be The Premier Beach Resort Brand in the World. Just last week, Outrigger announced the purchase of three hotels in Southern Thailand which are located on some of the most sought-after beach locations in Asia Pacific: Phuket, Khao Lak and Koh Samui. The combined acquisitions add nearly 1,000 new rooms to Outrigger’s global portfolio. The purchase of a new full-service resort in Kona underlines the hospitality company’s deep commitment to its home Hawai‘i market. Other recent investments include Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort’s $80 million transformation which is scheduled for completion at the end of this year and Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger’s $35 million modernization, creating the first ‘craft’ hotel in Hawai‘i. Outrigger is renowned for being a brand that perpetuates the history and traditions of the places where it does business. Its corporate compass is a values-based process called “The Outrigger Way” – caring for the host, the guest and the place – that was founded 25 years ago under the direction of Hawaiian historian and scholar, Dr. George Kanahele. In this spirit, Outrigger is committed to perpetuating the history of this iconic resort, while sharing the rich culture of Keauhou Bay, the birthplace of King Kamehameha III. “Upon finalization of the sale, we will begin outlining a property modernization masterplan that is aligned with the local culture and further elevates the grounds and guest experience. We are pleased to resume our partnership with landowner Kamehameha Schools and enhance the property in a manner that honors the legacy of this land,” added Wagoner. The lush 22-acre resort is perched prominently atop dramatic lava-rock cliffs and includes an oceanfront pool and waterslide, spa, wedding chapel, cultural center, fitness center, kids club, two restaurants and four indoor meeting venues – including a 10,000 square-foot convention center, the largest on the Kona Coast. The turquoise waters surrounding the resort are home to one of the only places in the world where people can consistently swim with manta rays. Introductory rates at Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa start at up to 30-percent off and can be booked starting July 26, 2021, for stays beginning in late-August 2021, at outrigger.com/kona. Additionally, Outrigger intends to add the property to the Outrigger DISCOVERY loyalty program, which rewards guests for staying at Outrigger, as well as more than 500 hotels in the DISCOVERY portfolio.
