Statement by DBEDT Director Mike McCartney:
Japan expects an increase in both in-bound and out-bound travel with new (less restrictive) COVID protocols for travelers. Hawaii anticipates an end of year pick up in Japanese travelers as well as international travel overall which should help end 2022 on a high note and provide momentum going into 2023.
DBEDT remains positive that Hawaii will achieve a full recovery by 2025 despite a strong dollar, global inflation and fossil fuel supply chain disruptions due to the Ukraine-Russian War. It’s important to note that on average, every visitor in Hawaii spends about $2,100 per trip while staying in our islands which adds about $250 in state tax revenue (per person per trip) not including county tax revenue generation. It is also important to note that every 50 visitors support one job in our state
As we move closer to full recovery in 2025 we will need a healthy mix of domestic and international travelers who share the values of Mālama Ku‘u Home.
