	Tourism's Negative Impact on Native Hawaiians
		Tourism is wholly concerned with self-preservation as an industry and not with the well-being of the community.
		In March of 1991, during the dramatic decline of visitors to Hawaii due to the Gulf War, the Hawaii State Legislature readily allocated as an emergency measure 6 million dollars to be used by the Hawaii Visitors Bureau for television commercials on the mainland USA.
		When tourism takes away the land, takes away access to the fishing grounds or the right to gather food or medicine, the Hawaiian loses a primary means of livelihood, and more important, meaning in life.

	CDNN :: Hawaii tourism in turmoil
		Ramos, 29, a waiter at a Waikiki hotel, is one of nearly 6,000 Hawaii workers who have lost jobs or had their hours cut because of the dramatic and unprecedented drop in tourism that followed the attacks in Washington and New York.
		When tourism lurches into low gear as abruptly as it did this month, those businesses and families measure the harsh effects in lost sales and lost wages.
		Hawaii's tourism industry is particularly vulnerable in the new climate because, unlike other states and most other regions worldwide, it depends almost completely on airlines to convey its visitors.

	>Hawaii Agricultural Statistics: Hawaii Ag-Tourism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		There were 187 farms Statewide that had ag-tourism related income during 2003, a 48 percent increase from 2000 as more farmers in Hawaii have opened-up their operations to the public; exposing visitors to the farm experience.
		Honolulu county had 16 percent of the farms and 25 percent of the value while Kauai county accounted for the remaining 13 percent of the farms and saw a boost in value to 18 percent of the total.
		Although only approximately 3 percent of all Hawaii's farms engaged in ag-tourism during 2003, the 48 percent increase in the number of ag-tourism operations between 2000 and 2003 is evidence that many see this as an opportunity to supplement their income and manage the risks inherent in farming.

	Contradictions of Tourism in Hawaii: Is there a Way Out of Limbo
		This problem with how to implement change is further escalated when the majority of residents hold two beliefs, reflective of the love-hate relationship with tourism, which contradict one another, as seen with the views on the construction of new hotels and the need for additional tourism jobs.
		Thus tourism developers and government representatives are at an impasse in trying to respond to the desires of their residents, as responding favorably to both the desire to limit hotel construction and create new employment opportunities in tourism will cancel each other out in the long run of implementing changes.
		If tourism had the impact of raising our consciousness, enabling us to become stewards for our environment, a wealthy and educated populace and compassionate human beings, then I’d be all for it.

		Large south swells occur in Hawaii's summer for the same reason: It's then winter in the southern hemisphere, and southern winter storms also generate strong winds.

		Hawaii residents want more tourism jobs, but not the hassles that come with an expanded visitor industry, according to a report released yesterday by the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
		While 74 percent of residents surveyed agreed with the statement "overall, tourism brings more benefits than problems," and 51 percent wanted more tourism jobs on the island, less than half said that tourism was generally good or that it made their quality of life better.
		"Hawaii residents understand and appreciate the economic benefits of tourism, although 37 percent believe that local government and the industry have not done enough to balance such benefits with problems caused by rapid growth," the report said.

		But the report notes that tourism is still changing -- few new hotels being built, but growth in timeshare, cruise ships, bed-and-breakfasts, and an explosion of vacation homes -- and so the issues of the past may not always be the issues of the future.
		Tourism and Crime: This is perhaps the report's most extensive analysis, looking both at past studies and also doing original new statistical research for the period from 1975 to 2001.
		Based on additional Hawaii evidence, the report also concludes that visitors are more likely to be crime victims than are Hawaii residents, but this effect is "drowned out" by more powerful determinants of crime such as demographics, unemployment, and the effectiveness of law enforcement.

		BECAUSE tourism in Hawaii is almost totally dependent on visitors who arrive by plane, few other destinations appeared so vulnerable to the downturn in air travel after Sept. 11.
		Tourism dried up so quickly that in October, Standard & Poor's, the credit-rating company, said Hawaii was the only state whose credit was directly affected by the events of Sept. 11.
		Hawaii's tourism base and reliance on airline traffic for economic momentum ''is so significant that the revenue impact could be immediate and severe,'' the company said, placing the state's rating on its credit watch.

	Hawaii needs to see 'sustainability' as more than just a buzzword - Pacific Business News (Honolulu):
		These issues fortunately are being addressed in a comprehensive report updated last week called "Sustainable Tourism in Hawaii." In 2001, the Legislature authorized $1.2 million for the study, which has quietly been building elements over the last two years on a state Web site, www.hawaiitourismstudy.com.
		Tourism is changing, the sustainability report notes, but not in ways envisioned even 10 years ago.
		The quality of tourism -- how much we can or should grow -- will continue to be an issue of debate unless and until the market itself establishes that Hawaii has reached its "natural limit." It is at least possible that something like this is beginning to happen.
