HAWAII – THE ULTIMATE GLOBAL GATHERING PLACE
|
In just five words, The Ultimate Global Gathering Place describes perfectly why Hawaii is such an ideal choice for meeting, convention and incentive programs.
Long celebrated as a dream destination for travelers, Hawaii is now recognized as a vibrant center of international commerce and business meetings.
Balmy year-round weather, the world’s best beaches, breathtaking natural beauty, traditional Hawaiian hospitality, and the warmth of the Aloha Spirit are all givens when coming to the islands. But corporate and incentive planners have also discovered that Hawaii is equipped to meet the needs, preferences, objectives, and budgets of any sized group. |
Unmatched Setting, Superb Facilities
A major reason for Hawaii’s evolution into a top-rated meetings destination is its strategic location. As the proverbial Crossroads of the Pacific, Hawaii seamlessly melds the economies and cultures of East and West into one business setting. Its appeal is bolstered by an impressive selection of world-class resorts and state-of-the-art meeting venues statewide that can accommodate groups ranging from 30 CEOs to 30,000 convention delegates.
Topping the state’s meeting infrastructure is its crown jewel, the award-winning Hawaii Convention Center. Just steps from Waikiki Beach and emphasizing the islands’ natural beauty and charms, this spectacular open-air structure combines the latest in high-tech advances with an authentic Hawaiian “sense of place” ambiance. Just as importantly, planners and groups alike have hailed the Center for the excellence of its cuisine and quality of service. |

Fascinating Culture, Diverse Activities
|
Hawaii’s diverse multi-cultural heritage is always a favorite with corporate and incentive groups. Rooted in the traditions and culture of native Hawaii, the Islands of Aloha is the ultimate melting pot for people of all colors and ancestries. More than anything, this “welcome to the world” outlook on life has fostered an exotic tapestry of cultural experiences found nowhere else.
Diversity is also Hawaii’s trademark for activities. Whether in the water, on land, or overhead, the islands present a never-ending array of fun and exciting activities. The fascinating topography is an open invitation for groups to explore and enjoy. And those seeking more leisurely pursuits will find first-rate opportunities for dining, shopping, festivals and museums, to name just a few, to sate their desires.
Golfing in the islands is especially popular with groups. Nestled within Hawaii’s dramatic landscapes are more than 80 courses, featuring magnificent championship layouts designed by legends of the game. No wonder the PGA TOUR, Championship Tour, and LPGA TOUR all tee off their seasons in Hawaii – in winter.
