Corporate Travel Destinations

Charlotte Harbor in southwest Florida has not previously been a top pick for corporate events. While it boasts exceptional natural beauty and ecological diversity, it is only recently becoming known as a hotspot for conventions, exhibitions and meetings. Prior to January 2009, there was a dearth of viable venues for events; however, the opening of the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center has changed that completely. The conference center is situated on the water in a historic area of downtown Punta Gorda and offers 45,230 square feet of customizable space.

Since its opening, the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center has hosted local events, exhibitions and sporting events and is getting rave reviews from planners. Aside from this ideal convention space, Charlotte Harbor also offers five National Wildlife Refuges, pristine beaches and excellent kayaking opportunities. Charlotte Harbor has long been known for its commitment to caring for the environment and wildlife in the area, and this commitment continues as they grow into a top destination for corporate travel. As part of this commitment, there are numerous opportunities to see and experience nature at its finest, including several tours through swamps, birding trails and animal rehabilitation centers that welcome visitors.

Visitors are also sure to enjoy the cobblestone streets and architecture from the 1920s that grace much of downtown Punta Gorda in close proximity to the conference center.

How about an exotic location where your attendees will be surrounded by unbelievable scenery while enjoying a restful retreat? A place where they can easily get to city attractions and nightlife, and then retreat back to their spa resort to recharge? Costa Rica offers these and many more opportunities for the corporate traveler. There's something for everyone here: golfing, pristine beaches, rain forests and high-end luxury resorts. Within 15 minutes of San Jose airport your attendees can be relaxing in an incredible mountain spa and basking in the beauty of this tropical paradise, and then can easily head back down to the city refreshed and ready for your corporate event.

Over one million visitors per year have learned the secret of Costa Rica as a world-class travel destination but here you won't find the unremitting crowds and "touristy" feel of some better known destinations. This is the ideal place for a healthful retreat where one can enjoy natural beauty free from daily stress and tension. For those looking for something a little more active, there are also outdoor adventure opportunities like white water rafting in the Orosi River Valley or sightseeing on the Paccare River. Above all, this is an excellent corporate travel destination for planners looking for an enticing location that will allow attendees to unwind between events.
