State Hopes To Increase Corporate Meetings and Conventions

The Hawaii Visitors and Conventions Bureau and Smart Meetings Magazines have just completed a three day trade show which brought in corporate meeting and incentive planners from across North America in an effort to increase the number of bookings in Hawaii.  Hawaii has always been a strong “fun” touristic destination, but the state hopes to also show the business side of Hawaii and build upon the success that last year’s Asian Pacifici Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit had for the islands.  President and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Mike McCartney, stated, “The trade show will provide planners from across the nation an opportunity to experience our world-class facilities firsthand and see what makes Hawaii an ideal place to conduct business.”
