Maui Team

When Charles Ka'upu called for lunch yesterday at Toronto's swish downtown George Restaurant, more than 20 of the city's top travel writers heeded his summons. Ka'upu's voice resonated above the tinkling of wine glasses in a traditional Hawaiian greeting as reps from Maui got down to the business of introducing Maui's new environmental and traditional experience marketing program.

Last year Canadian arrivals were up 19 per cent and totalled 336, 300 visitors with a surprising 100,000 of that number coming from Ontario. Visitor nights rose even more, 26 per cent.
