SUCCESS STORIES
From Bust to Boom

An Internet company finds success as a travel retailer after dot-com fallout
When the dot-com industry went bust a few years ago, Bruce Fisher and his wife, Yaling Yu, went into the travel business out of necessity. Today, their Honolulu-based at-home agency, Hawaii-Aloha.corn, is booming. Last year, the agency did $5.4 million in gross sales, nearly double its 2005 sales, according to Fisher. Moreover, gross sales in the first quarter of 2007 are up 120 percent over the first quarter last year, thanks mainly to their embrace of technology.
“We started out as a dot-com in 2000 and got dot-bombed when the Internet marketing business went bad,” Fisher says, referring to the Internet marketing company they operated from home. But what kept Fisher and Yu afloat was their affiliation with Planet Hawaii, a portal with a hotel booking engine, which was still […]

Fresh lava returns to Puu Oo crater on Hawaii
Fourteen days after the lava stopped after twenty five years of flowing, raising concerns it might be over for good, fresh lava has been found at the collapsed floor of the Pu’u O’o crater, the source of lava for most of those years. The presence of new lava in the bottom of Pu’u O’o crater was confirmed by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) on Monday July 2. The fresh flows were first reported by local helicopter tour operators between 8 and 9 a.m. on Monday morning.
The lava was flowing across the crater floor, which sank more than 350 feet over the last two weeks. Loud, gas-jetting noises could be heard associated with spattering on the crater floor. HVO monitoring instruments detected a slightly elevated seismic tremor. A University of Hawaii infra-sound array identified signals from Pu’u Oo, suggesting change was in the […]

AIR CAPACITY TO HAWAII from the Mainland is inching downward compared to the same period in 2006, according to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, with a 4.3% decline in capacity for the July-through-September quarter. Although ATA has increased its seat count to the islands, the trend is lower; ironically, the shrinking Japanese market will see a 1.9% increase in seat count to Hawaii. The reduced capacity affects all islands, with capacity down 1.3%, or about 25,000 seats, with Kahului down 7.1%, Kona down 20.9%, and Hilo and Lihue down about 13%. The figures point to fewer visitors flying through Los Angeles and San Francisco and more flying direct from second tier cities. Capacity will be down 15% from LAX and almost 17% from SFO, affecting flights to all four main islands. Delta is nearly halving its Salt Lake City service and reducing its Cincinnati flights (connecting […]
