Travaasa is the largest employer in Hana. Currently the hotel staffs 185 people. So far the Mani Brothers have made a favorable impression. They have been taking the time to get to know the hotel staff and surrounding community. There are no imminent plans for making changes. Their hope is to incorporate new resources while keeping what works for the hotel and hire locally.

We look forward to seeing the what the Mani Brothers bring to the Travaasa resort and to the community of Hana.
