Hawai'i's four mayors will meet with travel industry professionals in Los Angeles beginning tomorrow to highlight Hawai'i's culture, culinary trends and entertainment.

Big Island Mayor Billy Kenoi said reductions in hotel room rates and air fares make this an ideal time to visit the Islands.

Maui Mayor Charmaine Tavares said the unified effort of the mayors shows how important tourism is to the state's economic recovery.
