O`AHU
September 25-27, 2010
Mahalo (Thank You) for your interest in the beautiful island of O`ahu, a Hawaiian island that offers the largest range of visitor options, outdoor excitement and cultural experiences. As the second oldest Hawaiian island and unlike any other tropical island, O`ahu is paradise with so much more Hawai`i to enjoy from serene tropical island beauty to cosmopolitan urban excitement.
Today, attendees across the globe continue to feel the pull of O`ahu – a combination of sophisticated facilities, direct access from cities around the world and unmatched natural beauty make it the ideal option for any group. And getting here is simple. Honolulu International Airport is one of the world’s largest and busiest airports, with over 20 international and domestic carriers.
From Waikiki to the Windward Coast to the legendary North Shore, you’ll experience Oahu’s unique “town & country” appeal.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts, MC&A, Turtle Bay Resort, The Kahala Hotel & Resort and the O`ahu Visitors Bureau are excited to share with you all the reasons why O`ahu is a beautiful place for business.
