Hawaii is one of the most desirable meeting and incentive destinations.  It is a place that inspires your attendees, and  one that people everywhere in the world dream to visit.  Participation in Hawaii incentive events generally exceeds expectations, so Hawaiian incentives can be relied on to deliver on ROI.  This is true especially in tough economic times.

The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB), offers meeting and incentive planners "one stop shopping" to plan a meeting in Hawaii.  They have the resources, knowledge, and connections to maximize the value of a business meeting experience for planners and their clients. They recently launched an exciting new online initiative called the Added Value Resource Center at BusinessAloha.com.  Planners can go to the site and take advantage of several innovative programs to help them save money, without sacrificing the quality of the overall Hawaii meeting experience.

Cruising can provide an excellent travel perspective to incentive winners.  An incentive cruise offers a variety of ships from which to choose, and luxury amenities such as spas, gourmet dining and sports facilities, in addition to meeting rooms.  

Planners will appreciate the pricing structure, as well.  Cruise meetings typically offer a savings of as much as 40 percent over land based hotel venues, since everything is included in one price.

Incentive travel buyers may choose one of three cruising options:

1. Full-ship charter – customization options are virtually unlimited with a full-ship charter.  Incentive buyers may charter a ship for groups of 50 to 1,000 or more people.  They can have the ship fly the company flag, select the itinerary (within certain limits), create their own shipboard agenda, and much more.
2. Half-ship charter – usually incentive planners will charter by deck or by cabin category.  They may also reserve a dining room or one seating exclusively for their group.
3. Groups – no customization options, a group cruise experience is similar to that of a hotel or resort incentive experience, but at as much as 40 percent less.

All inclusive pricing allows incentive buyers to get more for their budget on sea than on land, thanks to the all inclusive aspect of cruising. 

Seasite.com, the first online group cruise planning portal, allows planners capitalize on the value of cruise meetings and incentives. Cruising can slash the cost of land based venues by 25-40%, allowing planners to persevere with today’s shrinking budgets. Why not make your next corporate incentive event a meeting-at-sea ?

The Hawaiian islands' golf resorts are among the best in the world, and there are six distinctly different islands to choose from – here is a glance at what each one has to offer:

• Oahu – Has more golf courses than any other of the islands. 
• Maui – A resort studded paradise with 16 golf courses and a well-developed tourism infrastructure that minimizes logistical issues for incentive planners.
• Kauai – Offers a mixture of vegetation, canyons, streams, and waterfalls. 
• Lanai – More secluded.  Golf is dominated by tow of the biggest player-designers, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.
• Molokai – With pineapple and coffee plantations, Molokai offers a laid back style and limited golf options.  However, it's Kaluakoi golf course has more ocean frontage than any other course in Hawaii.
