I am not sure why the local county mayors think they do not have the authority to slow tourism, they can certainly implement capacity controls on hotels and put a stop to STRs, although this is something else the Governor's somewhat dingbat way of thinking seems to have introduced, and he should be the one taking action.

"Revenge vacation" season is now moving full speed ahead, and while
many travelers are racing to book a trip after a year of being stuck at home, the mayor of one tropical island is asking airlines to slow down: Maui, Hawaii.
"I have been talking with different airlines and … we're asking for just a pause, if you want to use that term," Maui County mayor Michael Victorino said during a
press conference on June 29. "We don't have the authority to say stop, but we're asking the powers to be to help us."
