Across the Hawaiian Islands, Lei Day is celebrated on 1 May annually, recognising Hawaiian culture and the traditions of kindness and hospitality.<\/p>\n
A lei is a necklace of fresh flowers, shells or nuts that is created as a gift and shared as a token of love, congratulations, welcome or farewell. Lei Day is an annual tribute to this culturally iconic symbol of Hawaiis aloha spirit.<\/p>\n
Aloha can be created in an instant through a decision to act with kindness. Hawaii Tourism Oceania is inviting Aussies to celebrate and brighten up someones day through an act of aloha.<\/p>\n
Hawaii Tourism Oceanias country manager for Australia, Giselle Radulovic, said: Hawaii has a long tradition of welcoming visitors from around the world. However, right now the focus is on the health and safety of Hawaiis residents and community.<\/p>\n
Until such time when we can welcome visitors back to the Hawaiian Islands, we will continue to share the spirit of aloha with Australians.<\/p>\n
