Hapa Travel, a new destination management company, has launched in Hawaii, offering booking services for leisure, business and educational group travel from the U.S. mainland, Oceania and Asia.
The company is specifically catering to those that require expert travel advice with a broad range of locally specialized offerings.

"Our company's mission is to provide clients with a personalized and seamless service so that they can focus on creating memorable and rewarding travel experiences in Hawaii."
Primary services offered by Hapa Travel include helping clients develop customized itineraries based on their interests, needs and budgets, as well as booking services for accommodations, activities, events, dining and transfers.
