Southwest's Vacation Packages, Frustrated Biz Travelers and the Rate Cut Travel Companies Long For
Listen to the day's top travel stories in under four minutes every weekday. Good morning from Skift. It's Wednesday, August 20. Here's what you need to know about the business of travel today. Southwest Airlines announced on Tuesday that it's launching its own in-house vacation packages, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. Getaways by Southwest will allow customers to earn Rapid Rewards points while booking vacation packages that include flights, hotels, and ground transportation. Southwest will offer vacation packages for more than 30 markets, including Las Vegas, Orlando, and Hawaii. Southwest is among the growing number of airlines that are leaning into the lucrative vacation packages market. The carrier had previously advertised special offers for car rentals, hotels, and cruises instead of directly selling them to customers. Listen to This Podcast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Youtube | RSS Next, business travelers are increasingly reporting frustration with how booking travel has gotten more complicated, including having to deal with missing fares and mismatched prices, reports Contributor Clara Awuse. Awuse writes content fragmentation, where airlines distribute fares across multiple systems that agencies and travel management companies must stitch together, has become a major issue in corporate travel. A recent Sabre survey found roughly 90% of travel agencies now rely on four or more booking systems, and 80% agreed that setup is driving up costs. Andy Finkelstein, a Sabre executive, said if content is spread across multiple systems, travelers may never be offered the most appropriate itinerary. Finally, Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit explains why the stakes are high for the travel industry at the Federal Reserve's annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Kopit notes markets expect U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell to hint at a September interest-rate cut. Affluent households, already driving spending and benefiting from an elevated stock market, could be further encouraged by rate cuts to book more expensive trips. Kopit adds that even a single quarter-point cut could save businesses millions as airlines, hotels, and hospitality providers rely on debt markets to finance planes, properties, and new business. Airlines would also benefit if lower interest rates were to stimulate more business investment and consumer spending.

28th annual Daniel K. Akaka ALA Hawaii Food Show
HONOLULU (KHON2) — For 28 years, Hawaiʻi-based food vendors have had the chance to shine at the Daniel K. Akaka ALA Hawaiʻi Food Show, sampling their products to military buyers such as the Navy Exchanges, Defense Commissary Agency, etc. UH Mānoa dining has a hidden food court for everyone Originally started in 1997 by Senator Daniel K. Akaka at the Turtle Bay Resort, it was named in his honor in 2018. The show gives vendors opportunities not only to promote their brand, but also to get their products into consideration for commissary and exchange shelves. 'Every year I come, this gets bigger and bigger, more suppliers, more opportunity to bring in local products,' said Robert Culbreth, Director of Sales for Non-Fresh Foods. 'It's a great partnership, it's good for our military customers, it's great for the state of Hawaiʻi.' 'It's an honor to be considered as a potential vendor for the commissaries,' said Jan Hori, owner of Hawaiian Pie Co. 'To be able to share our love of pie with other military families.' But it's not just for vendors to do business. Some say that getting a taste of the Hawaiian Islands for the military is equally important.'One item that I'm featuring is 100% Hawaiian-grown macadamia nuts. These are from the Big Island of Hilo, and if anything says Hawaiʻi, it's Kona Coffee, which I also sell, and the macadamia nut,' said Steven Mulgrew, President of Mulvadi Corporation, and a vendor at the show since 1997. 'So hopefully this year – we got this into Costco and Longs, we'd like to get this into the military, into our military friends and families.' 'We're taking care of our military members and their families; they're part of our ʻohana,' said Sharon Zambo-Fan, Chairperson for ALA Hawaiʻi, when asked about the importance of the event. 'So by providing local items in the commissaries and exchanges, it's a great benefit for our military.' Over six thousand local products have been selected for commissary and exchange shelves, including Uncle's Handmade Ice Cream, Diamond Bakery, Aloha Shoyu, Hawaiian Sun, and much more.
