GICC positioned for easy access

Selling the Georgia International Convention Center is getting much easier these days now that the facility, near Hartsfield-jackson Airport, has more access via the skytrain and two new hotels. The convention center sat in the shadow of its bigger cousin the Georgia World Congress Center, but it may be ready to grab more business.

The new Skytrain has stops at the convention center and airport rental car facility.

The new Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) train station conveniently sits between two new hotels that are being built near the new Rental Car Center at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
