Travel & Tourism Division

McNeil Wilson is recognized as the leading public relations firm serving the needs of Hawaii's tourism industry - the engine that drives the state's economy. The firm has developed an intuitive understanding of tourism marketing and its focus and sophistication in this arena is unmatched by any other public relations firm in the United States.

The company's impressive client roster represents the full spectrum of the industry from airlines to cruise ships to hotels and attractions. Heading the list is the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau that has remained a client of the firm for the past 18 years.

A key advantage that MWC brings to its tourism practice is the broad network of print, broadcast, online media, and television production relationships that have been built up over the years.  The firm prides itself in keeping pace with the ever-changing media landscape and anticipating issues affecting travel.

In addition to the marketing aspect of its work, the division provides corporate communications services for travel clients and has expertise in community and government relations as they relate to land use issues.

It is often employed by tourism clients in tandem with the integrated digital, advertising, and research practices of Anthology Marketing Group.
