How can we offer these great low prices?
Value Travel Hawaii offers prices significantly below the major online travel websites because our markups are as small as possible. In addition, while the major online travel websites spend tens of millions of dollars annually on mass marketing -- actually you pay for that advertising when you buy from them! -- Value Travel Hawaii is very selective in how we spend our marketing dollars. Our much lower costs are then passed onto you in lower prices. Sure we don't make as much per person as the major online travel websites, but our commitment is value to you and we figure if you're satisfied you'll tell others and we can still make a decent profit on a growing volume of sales.

So what does Value Travel Hawaii know about travel?
Jim Donovan, the founder of m2c Inc. and Value Travel Hawaii, has over 15 years working with the travel industry in Hawaii -- from the early 1990's when he served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Hawaii Business Travel Association -- to his work for Panda Travel, one of Hawaii's largest wholesalers.

Jim's most extensive travel knowledge starts from his days as the COO for University of Hawaii Athletics where he annually managed $2 million in travel purchases. He negotiated multi-year agreements with United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, along with Outrigger Hotels, Ala Moana Hotel, and Alamo & National Rent-A-Car companies.

In addition, Jim began his working relationship with Panda Travel, one of Hawaii's largest travel wholesalers, in the mid-1990's. After an extensive request for proposal process, Panda Travel won the exclusive rights to provide travel services for the University of Hawaii athletics department, and Mr. Donovan directly managed that contract. It was then that Jim learned what great value Panda Travel delivered in air only and Hawaii travel packages.

For several years now, the parent company of Value Travel Hawaii, m2c, Inc., has been working with over 150 employees of Panda on issues of customer service, managerial accounting, marketing and online travel services. In addition, Jim and President Dave Matlin have conducted strategic planning sessions, secret shopper programs and travel specific managerial educational programs. Value Travel Hawaii was created to leverage the best of Panda Travel and Jim's extensive Hawaii travel industry knowledge and contacts.

The experience and contacts that Jim has gained over the past 15 years, along with a commitment of value to the customer, means that Value Travel Hawaii is one of the fastest growing online travel websites focused on Hawaii.

To provide our customers with competitive travel pricing options to Hawaii, while also providing them additional “added-value” whenever possible.

To have our customers enjoy their experience with our website, and their stay in Hawaii, so much that they become our best advocates.

Strategic Goals
Our goals for valuetravelhawaii.com are to:

• Provide our customers very competitive travel package pricing options to Hawaii.

Relationship to Panda Travel
Panda Travel has been serving the travel needs of Hawaii for more than 27 years. For almost ten years Jim Donovan has been providing marketing and management advice to Panda Travel’s administrators.

One of m2c, Inc.'s main goals was to assist the growth of travel services online. The more we learned about Panda’s online capabilities and great pricing, the more we believed there was an opportunity to create a website business focused on in-bound Hawaii travel. The outcome of this belief is valuetravelhawaii.com – essentially we decided to “walk the talk” and take advantage of Panda’s great rates and powerful search engine.

Why is our name m2c?
When we started the parent company of Value Travel Hawaii, we wanted to assist businesses with marketing and management issues they are facing as they move into the 21st century. To blend the past with the future, as MMC is the Roman numerals for 2100 (21st century), we created m2c – a marketing and management consulting company for the 21st century.
