The Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii was founded by the Rotary Club of Honolulu in 1997. Its mission is to share aloha with Hawaii visitors who have been the victim of crime, injury, or other adversities. The Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii recruits, trains, and coordinates a network of volunteers to provide assistance to visitors, in order ensure that they retain a positive memory of their stay in Hawaii, despite any unfortunate experience they may have had.
The Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii is a non-profit organization that received funding from the Hawaii Tourism Authority and through private donations.
