HONOLULU, HAWAII--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), the state’s tourism agency, has released a request for information (RFI) from qualified entities that are interested in participating in the upcoming procurement for destination marketing management services for the Korea market.

The RFI is for market research purposes only in preparation for a future procurement solicitation. The information obtained from the respondents will be used to develop a list of interested sources. No evaluation of participating respondents will occur and participation in the RFI is not a promise of future business with the HTA. Failure to participate in the RFI will not bar anyone from competing in future solicitations. No contract will be awarded directly from the RFI. If a subsequent procurement solicitation is released, the projected date for release is June 2014.

The RFI may be downloaded at www.hawaiitourismauthority.org (click on the link to “Request for Proposals”) from May 5, 2014. Respondents are encouraged to review information on the HTA website for additional background. Responses to the RFI must be submitted no later than May 15, 2014. The official dates and times will be provided in the RFI, which may be amended as necessary.

Inquiries should be directed to the Tourism Brand Manager Ms. Grace Lee, at the HTA’s office in person, by telephone (+1-808-973-2893), or via email (grace@gohta.net).
