The proximity of these two projects in Waikoloa Village underscores SRA’s expertise in hospitality development and our deepening commitment to serving the unique needs of Hawaii's tourism market. The Holiday Inn Waikoloa adds a new dimension to our portfolio, complementing our previous work and strengthening our reputation in the Hawaiian hospitality sector.
