Am I misreading the charts? Maui so far in April looks lower to me than April 2019: https://dbedt.hawaii.gov/visitor/dai...senger-counts/

Regardless, matching 2019 numbers at this point shouldn't be hard for domestic tourism spots in the USA. The pent-up demand for travel is huge. The question is how much of it Hawaii turns away with dumb Covid policies.
