Hawaii Market Merchandise Expo 2010

One of the World’s most dynamic retail shopping and resort hospitality markets. Hawaii is strategically situated in the Pacific between Asia and the mainland USA. The state population is more than 1.2 million residents. Over 7 million tourists visit the Hawaiian Islands annually. Honolulu is now one of the 15 largest cities in the USA. With over 4000 retail businesses, 70,000 resort lodging accommodations and 2000 restaurants and foodservice establishments.

More than 7000 business buyers from all the Islands of Hawaii attend each of The Hawaii Market Merchandise Expos. The business-to-business demographics of the State of Hawaii indicate that it ranks among the largest in the nation with respect to “cottage industries” as well as per-capita retail establishments. The cottage industry buyers especially generate a substantially large number of small quantity purchases per exhibitor, and they are well represented among all of the buyers who attend the expos.

Buyers must present properly qualified business related credentials along with matching photo identification in person at show site for admission. (Buyers may not register in advance via email for the Merchandise Expos).
