2015 Renton Visitors Connection Plan
The Renton Chamber of Commerce is a Destination Marketing Organization for Renton and performs
certain marketing functions to attract visitors. It operates a Visitors Center to accommodate visitor
information needs and promotion of Renton as a visitor destination.
The Visitors Center is housed in a revitalized train station and has become an attraction in downtown. It
is open to the public five days a week in the winter and seven days a week in the summer.
This year we will introduce Aloha Saturday, a cross promotion event throughout Renton, celebrating the
Pacific Islander heritage of many Renton residents in family friendly venues. The Renton Chamber and
Visitors Center is providing marketing, ambassadors and organization. The Visitors Center will be
partnering with hotels, restaurants, retail businesses and Alaska Airlines. There will be venues with
Pacific Islander art, dance, food, cultural exhibitions and more. Renton citizens have a large population of
Pacific Islanders and family outside of the City. The event is expected to attract visitors to shop, dine, and
play at a special festival event on August 15, 2015.
Free Shuttles will move visitors and locals around to five shopping districts from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
Each location will provide their own Pacific Islander Experience to include, music,treasure hunts, Pacific
Islander crafts, arts, foods and more. The Landing and Red Lion Hotel will offer concerts at their
locations into the evening.
The Renton Chamber has partnered with Alaska Airlines and Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort to offer 2
round trip tickets and accommodations for one week in Hawaii. The trip will be won through a passport
that will be stamped at each participating location. After completing the passport the participant
becomes eligible for a special drawing. The winner will receive the trip.
Partners with the Renton Chamber and Visitor Center include: Red Lion Hotels, McLendon Hardware,
Island Vibe,Viet Wah Group,The Landing, Uwajimaya, King and Bunny's Appliances,Alaska Airlines and
Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort.
This event is a prelude to a future event sponsored by the Renton Chamber and Visitor Center to begin in
2016,which will encompass the entire city and showcase and embrace the multi cultured residents of
Renton. A Global Village is planned for 2016 and this year's event Aloha Saturday will be the beginning
phase and part of a grant opportunity with the Washington State Arts Commission. The 2015 event will
be documented for the larger event in 2016 providing a grant is received.
The Renton Chamber and Visitor Center was able to obtain matching funds for promotions this year
allowing for celebrity entertainment at Aloha Saturday,Walter Apiolani and Thailiana Apiolani.
Through a matching tourism grant with Northwest Cable News the Renton Chamber of Commerce and
Visitor Center was able to provide twice the advertising.
Through the Lodging Tax funds request we have been granted $5,000 to be used for marketing the event.
