Michelle Mangio of Magical Escapes Chosen for the Hawaii Travel Exchange

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Michelle Mangio of Magical Escapes has been chosen to attend the exclusive Hawaii Travel Exchange to be held October 25-27, 2010 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Only 150 travel agents in the US were chosen to attend the inaugural event.  The Hawaii Travel Exchange will bring together top travel agents with local suppliers representing hotels and resorts, spas, destination management companies, destinations and tour companies servicing Hawaii.  Produced by the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau to celebrate Hawaii as a premier leisure destination, the event is also supported by the The Travel Group, the same producers of Luxury Travel Expo, the most established and influential luxury travel tradeshow in North America.

During the 3-day exclusive event, both agents and suppliers will be able to take part in multiple exciting networking opportunities, a top-notch educational program and pre-arranged meetings to provide an intimate one-on-one experience. Topics to be covered during the educational sessions include island chapter seminars, tour operator seminars and working roundtable discussions.

"I'm very excited to have been chosen," Michelle Mangio, owner of Magical Escapes and an "Escape Artist," said.  "It's a tremendous opportunity to increase my knowledge of Hawaii, and most importantly to make the connections with the local suppliers and hotel managers who help me create unforgettable vacation experiences for my clients."

She has won three Opal Awards (2007, 2008 & 2009), been recognized as among the Top 5 Aussie Specialist in North America by Tourism Australia, and been featured as a Travel Expert in Travel Weekly and VacationAgent Magazines.  Travel Agent Magazine highlighted her as a top Honeymoon & Wedding Expert in February 2009 and again in March 10, and she was awarded the WeddingWire 2010 Bride's Choice Award for Honeymoons & Destination Weddings.
