Travel Pink to Hawaii’s Hilton and Join the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Edited by Jennifer L. Price

Following a successful debut last year, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa is once again encouraging guests to travel pink to join the fight against breast cancer and support Susan G. Komen for the Cure with a special room package and exclusive amenity.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village's Travel Pink package begins at $239* per night, plus tax and is available for stays from September 1 to December 20, 2007.  A minimum three-night stay is required and the package is based on space availability.  

Because studies show that women who engage in regular physical activity have an approximately 20 percent lower risk of the disease compared to inactive women, the Hilton is offering an exclusive package amenity that encourages a more active lifestyle.  The amenity is a black sports bag with a custom-designed pink breast cancer ribbon imprint; inside the bag are:  a floral pink breast cancer cloisonné pin; a "Support Breast Cancer Research" bracelet; a pop open lid polycarbonate sports bottle; Mandara Spa bath salts and oatmeal soap; Mandara Spa $20 discount coupon on spa treatments at Mandara Spa at Hilton Hawaiian Village; Tori Richard $25 discount coupon on regular price merchandise at Tori Richard stores in Hawaii; a certificate for a 20% discount at The Rainbow Lanai Restaurant at Hilton Hawaiian Village.  (The 18" x 12.5" x 10" sports bag and all of the amenities represent a $75 value).  

Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa is Waikiki's only self-contained destination resort. A vacationer, business traveler or conventioneer finds everything necessary for a visit to paradise, yet also is within walking distance of everything Waikiki offers. The resort spans 22 acres, offering the widest stretch of beach on Waikiki, a beachfront lagoon, waterfalls, five pools, gardens, an exquisite art collection and exotic wildlife, as well as nightly entertainment including the King's Jubilee every Friday, a Hawaiian music and dance celebration that ends with a brilliant fireworks display on the beach. Kalia Tower has a variety of shops to choose from. In addition to Kalia Tower's attractions, the Village also boasts more than 90 shops and Holistica Hawaii Preventive Medicine. The finest dining, shopping and entertainment center on Waikiki's best beach, the Village features more than 20 restaurants and lounges, with fine cuisine ranging from Italian to Asian to traditional steak and seafood menus.

Room reservations can be made by calling the resort directly at (808) 949-4321 or call toll-free at 1-800-HILTONS (1-800-445-8667) and asking for rate code "PO."    Or visit www.hiltonhawaiianvillage.com/pink.

Hilton Hawaiian Village's Travel Pink package is a part of the Travel Pink, Travel Oahu initiative sponsored by the Oahu Visitors Bureau.  Member organizations are partnering with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Hawaii to raise funds to aid in breast cancer research, education and treatment.  More than 2.3 million women in the U.S. have survived breast cancer or are living with breast cancer today.  Although the numbers of breast cancer diagnoses have increased, the overall breast cancer death rate has significantly dropped since the early 1990s.  Advances in detection, diagnosis and treatment have made an impact… but prevention is the key in battling the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in women.
