Concerning Hawaii Tourism Decline | Ten Reasons It Happened - Beat of Hawaii

As i have eluded to on many occasions....the above is a good summary of Hawaii tourist demand and problems. Its spot on. Hence why Alaska is pulling back. I got back from Kona last month and it was a ghost town....very quiet.....yet they still want to charge insane prices.....

I can go to Maldives for less....than Maui.....and the people are very welcoming....hawaii seems to want to blame all thier issues on tourism and the mainland...while not holding thier officials accountable for proper financial management..\

I love the islands...but i have to agree with all the 10 reasons why hawaii is faltering.....and southwest is trimming capacity too....
