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.

As a basic member, you will receive updated newsletters, special invitations to HEA events and presentations, and the goodwill knowing that you are part of the efforts to promote ecotourism and protect the resources of our home here in the islands.
