Hawaii relies heavily on tourism revenue. At some point – and experts anticipate sooner rather than later – cost-cutting measures will become necessary in order to sustain this industry.
Maui’s devastating wildfires of August are one of the primary factors in visitor numbers declining this year, while travel costs for other tropical locations, including Bora Bora, have reduced significantly, forcing Hawaii to keep pace with tourism demand.
Experts predict that demand and price in Hawaii will soon more closely align, leading to less costly travel. They anticipate Hawaii becoming more affordable as prices decrease elsewhere.
