HVCB compiles list of 150 free things to do in Hawaii

Advertiser Staff

The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau has compiled a list of 150 free activities statewide that can be incorporated into the itineraries of business travelers visiting the Islands.

The listing is available at HVCB's new 'Added Value Resource Center' offered online at BusinessAloha.com.

"This new program helps groups make the best use of their money and spare time by showing how they can put together a full schedule of free activities for attendees to enjoy our unique culture and way of life," said Michael Murray, HVCB's vice president of sales and marketing for corporate meetings and incentives.

Examples of free activities to enjoy in the islands include listening to the music of the Royal Hawaiian Band at Kapiolani Park, touring the Waioli Mission House Museum in Hanalei, enjoying Art Night each Friday in Lahaina, and seeing the preserved ancient Hawaiian village at Lapakahi State Historical Park in North Kohala.

Hawaii Free is the fourth cost-savings program HVCB has introduced recently to help corporate meeting and incentive groups do business in the Islands.
