Oahu and business travel go hand in hand, especially if you hold your business conference at the Hawaii Convention Center.

This popular island destination is the epicenter for much of Hawaii’s business, commerce, and tourist activity.

The “gathering island” is not only one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations, but it is also a great location for business. The city houses the 1.1-million-square-foot Hawaii Convention Center in the city’s heart – the location for many top US and worldwide conferences.

To learn more about where to do business and what you can do while you are on the island, here’s the lowdown on Oahu and business travel:

Facilities

The enormous Hawaii Convention Center is not your typical business conference location.

More than 60 percent of the center has been landscaped, with palm trees and tropical plants making up the majority of this breathtaking space. What’s more, the indoor areas all have access to the outdoor sections of the center, so you are never too far away from breathing in some of Hawaii’s tropical air.

The conference center has already hosted some famous annual conferences, including the National Psychological Association, National Medical Association, and the National Pest Management Association, thanks to its exquisite design and location.

Inside the center you can also find 200,000-square-feet of meeting space for your business conference – as well as a 2.5-acre tropical garden on the roof and a 70-foot misting waterfall in the lobby!

When it comes to atmosphere and setting, you can’t really beat this space.

Location

The Hawaii Conference Center is located close to the famous Waikiki Beach. This strip of sun-drenched sand is one of the most popular places to stay in Oahu and all of Hawaii.

The area has a number of incredible hotels and great public transport systems.

What’s more, Waikiki Beach is also a great place to entertain clients – there are plenty of bars, nightclubs, and restaurants close by. You’ll find a huge selection of  everything from local Hawaiian cuisine to Japanese food to Italian and other world flavors.

What to Do

Honolulu has a reputation for working hard and playing hard.

The city is close to a range of activities including snorkeling, surfing, hiking, and scuba diving. HawaiiDiscount.com offers a number of group tours for businesses with great discounts, including these snorkeling tours.

The island is also well known for its golf courses – such as the par-72 Hawaii Prince Golf Course, which features ten lakes and a lovely restaurant.

Getting There

Honolulu International Airport is located just six miles from downtown Honolulu and 10 miles from Waikiki. The airport has car rental services, taxis, a bus, and a shuttle.

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii so most flights fly direct to here, which means you get to enjoy the best deals on flights and flexible timings.

The airport is currently undertaking a 12-year-long renovation to upgrade and modernize the airport. This will mean better passenger facilities, infrastructure from the airport, runways and security.

Weather

The great news is that Honolulu has a very stable climate throughout the year, so there is never a bad time to visit the city.

Temperatures usually average around 77 degrees, so you can enjoy warm weather in the daytime and slightly cooler evenings.
