For my family it’s just a matter of economics on who our family of six will fly. All of the airlines other than SWA (no bag fees) charge $30.00+ each way. As a family we would rather save on air fare, car rental and do other local activities. We have a budget, and try to spend within that budget. So if we spend more on airfare, car rental we won’t go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just an fyi, we are traveling on SWA from Vegas and returning on HAL. We do try to support all the local shops and restaurants when we can. Some of my family works in the restaurant business and hospitality industry. Just think if Colorado shut down all the ski resorts and told the tourist not come the state would go bankrupt. The ski/snowboarding and recreation industry generates 4.8 billon in annual economic impact. Jobs are 1.9 billon per year in labor income. Hawaii tourism generates 17.75 billon per the Hawaii Tourism Authority 2019.
Sorry to be long, but wanted to make a point. Thank you.
It could also be because of all the press saying they don’t want the tourists.
