My husband and I at the time I am writing this Should be in Hawaii looking at land And looking at moving my business there and my husband starting one there. However due to the gov requirements we had to cancel our trip after we arrived at LAX due to both covid tests not uploading 8n time due to UPS screwup and 5he LAX test also not done with in the timeframe. I understand protecting the people of Hawaii However Iges rules tell me he doesn’t want anyone going to the islands! Oh and we lost a great deal of money on this whuch added insult to injury!

Amazing article. Mahalo. So whatever comes on a ship we need to make in Hawaii no more frozen pizzas or frozen bread that’ll solve our problem.

Hi Marc.
Thanks. Not sure about the frozen foods, however.
Aloha.

You are right on Marc ! An island culture can only be self-sufficient when its own people can produce their own food ! We are way too dependent on imported food.

I just was moved by the military here, and am an interested, curious and I think or try to be, respectful person of places my family visits. I love history and can’t help but think the ‘tourist’ debate is not that simple. Many states on the mainland suffer from similar fates I have traveled to. I don’t know the secret sauce to success; but the amount of $$$$$$ that has been allowed to infiltrate the islands seems crazy to someone new. Yes military subsidized my stay, but I would never have been able to afford jack on a visit here without it. Maybe stop the money train and focus on something else.

As a recent visitor it’s is great to have so few people around the island but I have to disagree with feeling welcomed. If Hawaii really wants tourist to visit they should have a testing option once you arrive with no threat of quarantine. Negative test before you leave and one where you arrive will keep the locals safe and get people out of quarantine if results on the main land are delayed.

I have traveled to Kauai almost every year since 1994. I have always loved that Island. But the attitude and perception coming from the island is disconcerting. Kauai is not going to see me anytime soon. I miss the island, but I have absolutely no intention of going there with the anti-tourism attitude emanating from the island.

Yes you are absolutely correct. Tourism is the main business in the state of Hawaii and until we find another viable industry to support Hawaii’s economy we need them. On the same note, we welcome tourists to the state with a lot of Aloha, but there’s many that visit here that have no respect for the people, culture, laws and the local rules. Our state is unique from
All others. We have a very tight and respectful community and a lot of respect for everyone, including visitors to the island but they need to respect that. Like you said about the hand that feeds you… well, I understand that but will not bow down to
People with no respect.

My husband and I just returned from Kauai from a 3 week visit. We have owned property there for over 20 years and we head over about 5 times a year. We were so welcomed by everyone we came in contact with. We respected all the measures that were placed and coming from CA we knew what was needed. Two days before we left the 14 day quarantine went into effect. Interesting that the two locals who flew home knowing they were positive didn’t seem to infect others on the flight. The Mayor obviously isn’t following the science. It’s so hard to see the businesses struggle to keep the doors open. We will be back but without the quarantine. We are both 67..healthy and have had Covid. It’s not that scary.
