My first reaction, as a mainland resident, was “not going to go there!”. Then, after thinking about it, I realized it just keeping same budget but skipping a luau, a trip to the zoo, a snorkeling excursion, a shopping splurge, etc. In other words, tourists will still come, they will just spend less on local events or items. The idea of being fined for daring to visit really takes away the aloha spirit. Why not do like many areas, raise the tax per room which hotels pay? Oh, that wouldn’t hit every single traveler since more than on often stay together in a room.
Yes, I will be back, but there will be about 50$ less spent on tips and activities.
100% agree. I can easily cut $50 from shopping, dining and tipping. I normally tip large…no more!
