Some Suggestions for the Hawaii Business Traveler

October 7th, 2008

Hawaii-Aloha.com is designed to help vacationers to Hawaii learn as much as possible about this island destination.  We review hotels, keep you posted as to current package opportunities, give you insight into various attractions and events, suggest activities, provide local news that might interest visitors, and – of course – help you plan and book all aspects of your vacation.

We do recognize that many of you come to Hawaii on business rather than pleasure, and that most business here is conducted in and from Honolulu.

American City Business Journals Inc. is the nation’s largest publisher of metropolitan business newspapers.  It’s published locally in 41 metropolitan markets nationwide, including Honolulu.

“Biz Journals” rates the attractions, restaurants and cocktail venues in each of those markets, skewed to business travelers rather than vacationers.  The ratings are objective (i.e., not influenced by advertisers), and we generally concur with them.

For your reference:

Honolulu Attractions:
  1.  USS Arizona Memorial
  2.  Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
  3.  Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum
  4.  Waikiki Beach
  5.   Honolulu Academy of Arts

Honolulu Restaurants:
  1.  Alan Wong’s Restaurant on King Street
  2. Orchids, Halekulani
  3. Beachhouse, Westin Moana Surfrider
  4. Keo’s Thai Cuisine, Waikiki

Honolulu Cocktail Venues:

Consider the foregoing if your island schedule is crammed and you’d like to catch as much of what you might enjoy as possible.  And of course, feel free to pick an agent from our Web site home page (Hawaii-aloha.com) or call 1-800-843-8771.  We’ll gladly characterize the listed places for you or suggest alternatives.
