Rollin Rarhpr. chairman of the Hawaii Visitors Bureau's current fund drive, told the Wahiawa Rotary Club Thursday at Ke-moo Farm.

BACHER SAID that 13.4 per cent of the State's income comes directly from tourism, and the State currently spends $1,230,000 on tourism promotion through the HVB. "Money from the private sector of the economy gives the State contribution additional leverage and gives the HVB the enormous advantage of thousands of hours of volunteer service on the part of many of Hawaii's leading businessmen and travel industry leaders," Bacher said.
