I'm in Japan on a whirlwind business trip, and I came across HGVC sales folks in the airport. They were very enthusiastic about Hawaii, so decided to see what I could find out about new/expanded locations there. Not much detail, but they did say there would be new beachfront resorts on the Big Island "soon". Assume they're referring to Ocean Towers?

Makes sense -- I suspect that there is a lot of enthusiasm within HGVC sales team about converting Ocean Towers. That hotel is well known, and being able to promote a hotel conversion would likely play very well to guests who have stayed there. The hotel facility at HWV has been heavily promoted to the Japanese market.

Thanks for the info!

Best,

Greg

Nice! That would be great alternative location for the Big Island. I wonder how much renovation would be needed?
