HONOLULU, HAWAII, April 20, 2001- Get2Hawaii, the new affiliate company of Panda Travel, and the first business-to-business application service provider in the Hawaii travel market, announced its newly constituted Get2Hawaii Advisory Board. The Board will hold its inaugural meeting on Friday, April 20, followed by a press luncheon at the Halekulani Hotel. The ten members represent a veritable "who's who" among travel industry professionals, and are the acknowledged "movers and shakers" in the Hawaii travel market.

"We feel very fortunate to have such a stellar group of advisors available to us. In their respective roles, each has either been a prominent voice in the effort to propel the Hawaii travel and tourism industry forward, or an advocate of the need to further diversify our State's economy through technology," said Susan Scott, CEO of Get2Hawaii. "By agreeing to sit on Get2Hawaii's advisory board, it is a testimony to the need to embrace technology, and the Internet, as a platform to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of Hawaii's core industry."

The Get2Hawaii Advisors include:

Robert Fishman, CEO, Hawaii Tourism Authority
Chuck Gee, Dean Emeritus, University of Hawaii, School of Travel Industry Management
Nola Miyasaki, CEO, High Technology Development Corporation
Paul Casey, Vice Chairman & CEO, Hawaiian Airlines

Garrett Tom, CFO, Honu Group, Inc.

Joining Ms. Scott at the meeting to introduce the new advisory board will be Get2Hawaii chairman and founder, Jack Tsui, and the software startup's board of directors. According to Scott, chief among the meeting's objectives will be familiarizing the advisors with Get2Hawaii's product development strategy in order to obtain their feedback and input as early as possible in the product cycle.

"Our unswerving commitment is to provide an online solution designed by travel professionals, and I don't know of a tougher crowd to ensure that we deliver on that promise than the advisory group we've assembled," said Ms. Scott. "If we can meet their expectations, we've know we've got a winner."

Ms. Scott also pointed to the influence the group wields among travel professionals and that leveraging their relationships will be a key to building momentum and accelerating awareness of the Get2Hawaii offering in its core markets.
