Plan around Corpus Christi
Convention-center proximity, hotel inventory, meeting space and access — the market facts behind Visit Corpus Christi.
Top reasons to meet in Corpus Christi
Why planners choose this market
- Bayfront convention district — Hilliard Center, 76,500 sq ft of exhibit space and 1,800+ hotel rooms within three miles
- Beaches and the outdoors — 120+ miles of public beach, Padre Island National Seashore and the Laguna Madre
- 220+ days of sunshine and a walkable downtown seawall with dining, marina and the Art Museum of South Texas
Inventory & capacity
Access & district
- Airport proximity
- Corpus Christi International (CRP) ~10 mi, 12–15 min to downtown hotels and the convention center
- Air lift access
- Corpus Christi International (CRP): nonstop service to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH and HOU) and Austin (AUS). No scheduled international flights — international groups connect through DFW, IAH or SAT (143 mi).
- District transit & walkability
- Compact bayfront core: Hilliard Center, the Omni (0.6 mi) and the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina are connected by a 1.5-mile seawall promenade with restaurants, marina and attractions. The CCRTA (B-Line and Route 77) serves downtown, rideshare is plentiful and motorcoach drop-off is at the venue porte-cochère. Parking sits in venue-owned lots and downtown garages.
Operations & incentives
- Labor & vendor status
- Texas is a right-to-work state. Hilliard Center is operated by Oak View Group with OVG Hospitality as the exclusive food, beverage and alcohol provider; a 21% catered-events management charge applies. Stagehand labor at the arena is non-union and booked through the event manager, and security, police and medical staffing are arranged by the venue.
- Local taxes & fees
- Hotel occupancy tax 15% on sleeping rooms (6% Texas state + 9% City of Corpus Christi). State and local sales/use tax 8.25%, which also applies to ticketed admissions and equipment rentals at Hilliard Center.
- Planner incentives & subvention
- Visit Corpus Christi provides RFP and bid support, complimentary site inspections, hotel room-block coordination, offsite and group-experience sourcing, attendance-building tools and an Attendee Savings Pass for delegates. No per-room rebate program is published; group support is negotiated case by case.
