Hawaii Tourism At A Discount

This could be the year to go to Hawaii during the winter months, because trips there are being offered at a serious discount. At the current time, travel packages to Hawaii are $200 to $900 less than they were one year ago.

Hawaii is in the midst of its worst tourism downturn in years.

In August, visitor spending in Hawaii dropped $206.9 million from the same month last year, while air arrivals fell by 107,000.

The HVCB is spending $4.5 on the winter campaign, with $1.5 million coming from the Hawaii Tourism Authority and $1.6 million from hotels and other industry members.

Due to the downturn, you can expect more ads and travel packages to Hawaii this year. Tourism is a big part of the Hawaiian economy, and officials don’t plan on giving up easily.
