The Hawaii Vacation Connection is produced, every Friday . The shows focus is on the Travel and Tourism industry in Hawaii. Hosted By Bruce and Yaling Fisher, the program is designed to help people learn how things are done in the islands and how they can be more comfortable while here. The show gives insight into and appreciation of things Hawaiian beyond anything you might learn from travel books, magazines or even surfing the Internet. The show covers every imaginable subject about Hawaii — from the meaning of a Lei greeting to the Dances of the Dolphins. The tone is anecdotal, breezy, and devoid of any commercialism.
About Me:
In 1995 Bruce left radio to start MCS Internet solutions which provided programming and connectivity solutions to businesses. That company spun off a local ISP called Pacific Internet Connections. In 1997 after acquiring the domain HAWAI-ALOHA .COM Bruce merged all three companies and founded HAWAII-ALOHA.COM, INC which went on to design, develop and market numerous websites in Hawaii
In 2000 he partnered with Yaling Yu and entered into an agreement to turn HAWAII-ALOHA.COM‟s focus completely on to the inbound Hawaii Tourism market by transitioning the site into a Online Travel & Tour Agency for Hawaii only . In the last nine years, under his direction, the company has grown from a small two person agency to a multimillion dollar company with 15 full time Agents.
Since 2006 Bruce has been producing The Hawaii Vacation Connection podcast which is devoted to Hawaii Travel and Tourism. The podcast receives over 13,000 downloads a month. His podcast led to an appearance on the Travel Channel which is still airing. He is very active in Social media with over 6500 followers on Twitter. He also has a Iphone application and produces video reviews of local Hotels and events around the island on his Youtube channel MRBRUCE 1
In May 2007 the agency was recognized in Travel Agent Magazine for its innovative approach to travel and in May of the same year, Agent at Home Magazine featured the company's success story. In 2008 the company received the Circle of Excellence award from Nexion Travel Corporation. In March 2009 Hawaii Aloha Travel was rated as one of the top agencies in Hawaii by Pacific Business News. In 2010, the company received a 2010 Travel Age West Trendsetter award.
