ATTACHMENT 01 Budget Plan Worksheets.xlsx

This is a Budget Plan Worksheet for the Hawaii Tourism Authority's RFP 27-05 solicitation for destination brand marketing services in the European Major Market Area. The worksheet outlines a proposed budget framework for the period spanning September 2026 through December 2029, with budget allocations across five primary categories: Consumer Travel, Travel Trade, Public Relations, Co-operative Program, and Account Administration. The document includes a detailed breakdown for Period 1 (September 2026 through December 2027) and projects total budget requirements across the full contract term. The budget plan also incorporates staffing structure details, including fields for employee titles, years of experience, hourly rates, and percentage of time allocated to the account.

The budget worksheet currently displays zero dollar amounts across all line items and budget categories, indicating this is a template or preliminary planning document awaiting completion with actual proposed costs. The staffing section includes fields for documenting contractor personnel, including years with company, years in industry experience, hourly compensation rates, and full-time equivalent (FTE) assignments. All percentages and cost allocations are shown as zero percent, suggesting the bidder has not yet populated the worksheet with their proposed budget figures. This document serves as the financial planning and staffing disclosure component of the RFP response, requiring the selected contractor to detail their resource allocation and compensation structure for delivering comprehensive leisure travel destination marketing services to the European market.
