More than 100 tourism sales people from Hawaii will be in Chicago next week for The Motivation Show.

The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau calls it the world's largest exhibition for companies looking for ways to reward employees. It says the gathering will draw 20,000 incentive planners and corporate meeting professionals from around the world.

Michael Murray is the bureau's vice president of sales and marketing for corporate meetings and incentives. He says Hawai'i is a high-value incentive destination.

Joining HVCB in the sales effort are representatives from the Kaua'i Visitors Bureau, O'ahu Visitors Bureau, Maui Visitors Bureau, Big Island Visitors Bureau, Hawai'i Convention Center and more than 50 travel industry companies.
