The Hawai`i Convention Center has received its 14th consecutive Prime Site Award from Facilities & Destinations magazine.
Prime Site Awards are decided by meetings and conventions industry leaders directly involved with site selection, including promoters, booking agents, and event planners. Voting is based on convenience of location, facility attractiveness and maintenance, professionalism of staff, cuisine, and technological capabilities.
Facilities & Destinations magazine, a monthly publication for professional planners of meetings, entertainment, and special events, described Hawai`i as “An ideal place for an international meeting of political, cultural, and business significance,” and noted the significance of hosting APEC’s 21 member economies, which drew an estimated 20,000 visitors to Honolulu in November 2011.
The magazine also highlighted the Center’s high-value global marketing strategies, which include custom-designed collateral and the multi-language microsites to assist organizations in building international attendance.
As a Hawaii resident, business owner, and previous client of the center, I continue to be so proud of the HCC. You continue set the bar so high and it is a great representation of what we can achieve here. You have the perfect integration of local art and culture, the beautiful flow of natural elements and open space, and of course great technology and best green practices. Congratulations!
