Hawaii Ecotourism Association membership is open to anyone committed to preserving Hawaii’s unique sense of place by promoting environmental stewardship, cultural sensitivity, community well-being and quality education within the travel and tourism industry. The newly created membership category, Friends of HEA, is for those who support the ideals of ecotourism.  Another way one can contribute to HEA goals is by becoming a member at the HEA Corporate Supporter level or by making a tax-deductible donation to the organization.
