The Queen Emma Foundation owns several properties in Waikiki, Hawaii including the International Market Place. A presentation was given with the following key points:
1. The properties provide an opportunity to stabilize the Foundation's long-term revenue through strategic redevelopment that addresses the evolving visitor market and benefits locals through culture and heritage.
2. Options discussed include redeveloping the International Market Place and adjacent hotels into a larger destination resort complex with new attractions, amenities, and accommodations.
3. The recommended strategy is to renovate the Market Place in phases and reposition existing hotels, while pursuing development of other sites to realize benefits for the Foundation, community, and visitor industry.

An entirely new level of luxury in Hawai‘i, the planned Waiea represents the pinnacle of high-end living on Ala Moana Boulevard. With its sweeping, unparalleled glass façade and spacious view-oriented interiors, this 36-floor tower represents a level of architectural sophistication never before available in Hawai‘i.
The flagship building of Honolulu’s most distinguished urban neighborhood, Ward Village, and designed by awardwinning Vancouver-based architect James K. M. Cheng in collaboration with Rob Iopa and WCIT Architecture, Waiea will be Honolulu’s most luxurious address.
One of the most sophisticated and design-forward towers on O‘ahu, Anaha plans to set a new tone for the evolving architecture of Honolulu.
Located in Honolulu’s most distinguished urban neighborhood and designed by Chicago-based Solomon Cordwell Buenz in partnership with Benjamin Woo Architects, this planned 311-unit building offers a diverse range of sophisticated residences. Beyond the services and amenities of the building, residents of Anaha also have access to all of Ward Village, a master-planned community that offers a wealth of shops, restaurants, entertainment options, and artfully designed public spaces.
The International Conference on Marketing in Tourism AdCamp 2016
Since its very beginning, the AdCamp conference has focused on MARKETING IN TOURISM, especially on PLACE BRANDING and TOURISM SERVICES MARKETING. This two-day meeting of experts is intended for all professionals from the public, academic and business sectors working in the field of tourism and related fields. However, AdCamp is not a classical conference; it stands out mainly due to its conceptual framework.

2. URBAN LABS PRESENTATION OUTLINE
UL Mission Statement and IMP Project Objectives
The QEF Waikiki Properties (Kaluaokau)
History and Context
Market Considerations
Property Profiles
Strategic Direction
3. URBAN LABS MISSION STATEMENT
Develop a strategy for The Queen Emma Foundation
to stabilize and enhance revenues from its Waikiki
Properties for the long term.
Establish an initial project at the International
Market Place sites that enhances QE Foundation
opportunities at adjacent sites with 2010 lease
expirations
Create a new Waikiki gathering place for locals and
visitors that showcases the local culture and heritage
Incorporate The Queen Emma Foundation values and
their mission of support of the Hawaiian people.
52. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Queen Emma Foundation has a unique opportunity
to capitalize on its Kaluaokau properties and
stabilize its revenue base for the long term through
strategic property investments that address the new
Hawaiian visitor market.
The Queen Emma Foundation can at the same time
benefit all Hawaiians- by making the Kaluaokau
properties a gathering place for local residents and a
compelling destination for visitors, by enlivening the
rich history of Kaluokau and Waikiki, and the
people that have contributed to its past.
53. A FADING DESTINATION
Visitors are dissatisfied with Waikiki hotels, restaurants,
and airport
Waikiki has not kept up with global competition for its
primary market
Domination by three hotel brands has created complacency
Waikiki has the oldest visitor plant in the Islands
Smallest percentage of deluxe units
The lowest room revenues
Oahu has lowest visitor satisfaction rate of all the islands
54. A TROUBLED GATEWAY
Waikiki impacts the entire Hawaiian visitor industry
73 % of all Hawaiian visitors visit Oahu and Waikiki
For both visitors and non-visitors, Waikiki represents
Hawaii
Waikiki has lost much of its unique sense of
Hawaiianness
The Japanese visitor “bubble” is largely over
New feeder markets must be developed to lure new
visitors
Past visitors to Waikiki must be encouraged to return
55. IRREPLACEABLE ASSETS
The Kaluaokau properties are the most central location for
a much-needed Waikiki gathering place for visitors and
locals
The Kaluaokau properties are likely the only site in
Waikiki capable of a development of such significant scale
The International Market Place has a fifty year-old
reputation as a visitor and local destination
Existing hotel towers would be difficult to replace given
public sentiment and new regulations
56. A MARKET TO DEVELOP
Hawaii remains a dream destination for potential
visitors
Visitor satisfaction is high with non-Waikiki
destinations
Honolulu and Waikiki have the strongest base of
important Hawaiian cultural and historic attractions
Local operators have historically been complacent
Future known competition offers manageable
challenge
There are multiple feeder markets that remain ripe
for development
57. A SOLID FOUNDATION
Hawaii is a famous destination with broad appeal
Substantial base of satisfied past visitors to Hawaii
Honolulu has the cultural, recreational, entertainment and
visitor attractions of a cosmopolitan city
Oahu’s most unique natural attributes remain relatively
unspoiled
Waikiki is a safe American tropical resort served by a
variety of airlines
58. THE HAWAIIAN BRAND
“The most recognized brand in the world”
Unique Hawaiian history and culture
Popular food, music, arts and apparel
Stunning natural attractions
The Aloha spirit of its people
Famous luxury hotels and resorts
Classics: Moana and Royal Hawaiian, Hana Ranch
Modern luxury: Mauna Kea, Grand Wailea, Princeville
59. A SOPHISTICATED CUSTOMER BASE
Hawaii is considered an exciting tropical destination
particularly among upscale, married, college-
educated leisure travelers
Most target consumers live in counties located in
larger metropolitan areas with more than 85,000
households
Most visitors from the mainland currently come from
a handful of large west coast cities
60. INTANGIBLE ASSETS TO CONSIDER
Hawaii and Waikiki have an unique appeal that plays
directly to the specific mind set of the vacationer:
Experimentation- the exotic and unusual
Fantasy- a tropical paradise
Ambiance- the almost intangible attributes of an
escape from the everyday
The desire for memorable experiences
91. Bring residents and visitors together at a gathering place
that restores the original significance of Waikiki for
Hawaiians
Enliven the historic meaning of Kaluaokau and Waikiki
for new generations through:
• Design
• Landscape
• Historic and cultural references
• Building elements
• Retail and restaurant tenants
• Live entertainment
• Events and Celebrations
RESTORE THE MEANING OF WAIKIKI
92. AN ICON REBORN:
THE NEW INTERNATIONAL MARKET PLACE
Expand on its reputation as an exotic, unique Hawaiian
experience to satisfy today’s more sophisticated visitor
market
Capitalize on its rich history and its traditional role as a
gathering place to create a new Waikiki focal point
Add new hotel, dining, and entertainment offerings to
create a new world-class resort destination
93. PROGRAM COMPONENTS:
Replace obsolete retail space
Increase GLA and specialty retail space
Update physical plant infrastructure- service, loading
Add more accessible parking
Expand and enhance with new attractions and
amenities to become Waikiki focal point
Connect and incorporate adjacent QEF Properties to
maximize adjacent property values through creation
of an urban resort complex.
94. A LARGER OPPORTUNITY
Address visitor market demands through repositioning of
the QEF hotel towers as destinations in their own right-
not commodities
Maximize values of the existing hotel towers through
coordination with other Kaluaokau properties to develop
an urban destination-resort
Encourage community support by redevelopment and
enhancement of existing hotel towers rather than new
construction
95. MANA - BASED PLANNING
Respects the heritage of the Kaluaokau properties
Recognizes and celebrates the historical figures and
events associated with the site
Encourages locals and visitors to develop a closer
relationship with Hawaiian history and culture
through crafts and performance
Incorporates principles of Restoring Hawaiianness to
Hawaii
Includes relevant elements of Waikiki Special
District Land Use Ordinance
96. FOUNDATION BENEFITS
A comprehensive, phased and scaleable strategy for
the Waikiki Properties through 2010 and beyond
Improved and stabilized revenue sources for the long
term
New institutional-quality assets for outside investors
A substantial roster of benefits to the local
community that will enhance The Foundations’
reputation
97. COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Promotes native Hawaiian culture and heritage
Provides a catalyst for additional Waikiki improvements
Upgrades Hawaii’s most important visitor destination
Establishes a new standard of quality development within
Waikiki retail and tourism industries
Adds new attractions to create visitor market interest
Enables the development of local independent businesses,
craftspeople and performers
Aids in economic diversification by nurturing local people
involved in native Hawaiian culture and traditions
Creates much-needed upgraded accommodations
98.
99. URBAN LABS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Proceed with planning for a phased renovation and
expansion/redevelopment of International Market
Place
Pursue early terminations for renovation and
repositioning of existing hotel towers with new
operators/market segments as part of IMP project.
Investigate potential for development sites at Kuhio
and Kanekapolei Streets at 2010 expirations
Finalize QEF development strategy/partner options
to capture current market opportunity
