Checking In - Hawaii Supplement 2009

Ahhh, Hawaii—land of the warm "aloha," pretty leis, exotic hula dancers, carefree surfers, swaying palms and brilliant beaches. What could be more leisurely? While the islands of Hawaii are certainly one of the most relaxing and idyllic destinations around, they can just as easily switch into serious business mode.

Despite recent perception concerns about meeting in resort destinations, paradise found need not mean productivity lost, as Senior Editor Maria Lenhart examines in the lead story of our first MEETINGS HAWAII supplement. In fact, Hawaii can set the perfect backdrop for inspiration and creativity.

Booking incentives and value-adds have also made rates in Hawaii more attractive than ever, and sweeping improvements, profiled in our "Island Renaissance" feature, have the destination looking better than ever.

Be sure to check out the details below on our exciting new Hawaii educational series for meeting planners.
