The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center is a joint venture between Ford Island
Properties, LLC and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, Inc. (PHVC) to
provide tourist services at the Halawa Landing site. PHVC is located
on a waterfront site between the USS Bowfin Memorial and the Navy
shuttle to the USS Arizona. The Center provides much needed services
such as food, baggage storage, tours, transportation, and sheltered
resting areas for the 1.6 million annual visitors (4,500 per day)
that come to Pearl Harbor to pay their respects.
The first phase of this project consists of a temporary, tented structure
that includes, chairs and tables and other conveniences to make the
visitor experience at Pearl Harbor more comfortable. Service vendors
brought in under this arrangement offer their products in a tasteful
1942 WW II setting that exhibits respect for the environment. Plans
are underway for a permanent structure in the near future.
PHVC works closely with the National Park Service, the USS Missouri
Memorial Association, and the USS Bowfin Memorial to develop Halawa
Landing in a manner that both respects the environment of the memorials
and creates for the visitor a lasting and pleasant memory of Pearl
Harbor.
