Insider trading: How well do you know Hawai'i? ClubHawaii, an online travel guide, is seeking "insiders" for their perspective on the Islands. In return, you could win two round-trip air tickets to a Neighbor Island.
The about-to-launch www.clubhawaii.net offers detailed information on activities, attractions and accommodations on O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i, Lana'i, Moloka'i and the Big Island. And that's where you come in. Folks who've lived in Hawai'i for five years or longer can apply to become "Island Insiders." If chosen, Insiders visit the Web site and fill out an island-by-island survey. Complete four or more sections by Friday and you could win two roundtrip airfare tickets to the Neighbor Island of your choice. One chance to win per island survey completed.
"For many people, a trip to Hawai'i is more than just a vacation," said Sheila Rausch, president and CEO of Marele Productions, who is launching the site. "Visiting Hawai'i is in many cases a lifelong dream. You want to make every moment count. "ClubHawaii's mission is to provide honest, reliable information that will help assure its members they are getting an authentic and truly wonderful Hawaiian experience."
Island Insiders provide information via personal interviews, reviews and online surveys and must be 18 or older. Insiders will receive a free membership in www.ClubHawaii.net for being survey panelists. To become a survey panelist, call 261-0964 or write to surveys@clubhawaii.net.
