Hawaii
A New Perspective on Paradise
By MARIA LENHART
|
| Although clouds have hovered over the Hawaiian meetings horizon for the past two years, rays of sunshine are breaking through at last. Group business—including corporate meetings—is clearly on the upswing for the Aloha State. |
"We're really seeing some positive increases in the meetings market," says Mike Murray, vice president of sales and marketing for the corporate, meetings and incentive division of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB). "Through April of this year, incentive business was up 6 percent over the same period last year. But what really stood out is the corporate market—which has been down for a significant amount of time. That business was up by 19 percent."

Green Hawaii
While green practices are of growing importance to many destinations, it's little wonder that Hawaii, with its fragile island ecosystem, has even more impetus than many to be at the forefront of the sustainability movement.
Honolulu was recently ranked third in the Business Courier of Cincinnati's Green Cities Index, which rated 43 U.S. metropolitan areas on variables such as commuting habits, fuel use, LEED-certified projects, green jobs and air and water quality.
