Hip on Hawaii... and Hula!

Marriott's Spirit of Aloha Tour team

It's Aloha Friday here in the Mile-High City! Today we brought Hawaii to the Hip Performance Group, a travel incentive company in Denver. We received an outpouring of aloha from the Hip team, and treated them to hula and Hawaiian music by Polynesian Cultural Center, a tour of our Spirit of Aloha bus and bento picnic lunches for their staff members.
