King Kamehameha Kona Beach Resort Announces New Director of Sales & Marketing

King Kamehameha Kona Beach Resort is delighted to announce the appointment of Christopher Blunt as the new director of sales and marketing. With an impressive career spanning over three decades, including 22 years of sales experience in Hawaii's luxury resort market, Blunt brings a wealth of industry knowledge and expertise to his new role at the 455-room resort, set on the historic beachfront where King Kamehameha the Great once ruled. "We're excited to welcome Christopher to our team. His extensive experience, particularly in Hawaii's hospitality industry, combined with his deep understanding of customer relationships and commitment to excellence, make him the ideal leader to drive our sales and marketing efforts," said General Manager Revell Newton. "Christopher's focus on building lasting relationships and highlighting the unique offerings of our resort aligns with our dedication to guest satisfaction and the rich cultural heritage of this special destination." Prior to joining King Kamehameha Kona Beach Resort, Blunt worked as a Hawaii Island Tour Guide for Kailani Tours in Kona, where he led VIP and group tours across Hawaii's major national parks and cultural landmarks. His responsibilities also included managing guest services, safety, and vehicle maintenance, while creating team-oriented environments on each tour. Blunt's earlier experience includes his role as Sales Manager at Fair Wind Cruises, where he generated significant revenue through group and wholesale business and coordinated private charters for luxury companies. Additionally, his extensive background includes positions at Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows, Marriott Resorts Hawaii, Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, and Prince Resorts Hawaii. In his new position, Blunt will lead the resort's sales and marketing strategy, overseeing group, leisure, and business travel segments while working to showcase various Hawaii signature events at the resort for 2025. His proven ability to deliver personalized service and build strategic relationships will support the resort's goals and help elevate its presence within the Hawaiian hospitality industry. Blunt is excited for the opportunity to share the special historical significance of the destination with visitors, from the Ahu'ena Heiau to the fine art of the Herb Kawainui Kāne art gallery. The destination-defining resort is located on the land where King Kamehameha the Great peacefully governed after uniting the Hawaiian Islands under his rule. In honor of this deep history, visitors will find an endless array of historical and cultural experiences throughout the resort.
