In March 2022, 3,216 visitors (+166.2%) came aboard two out-of-state cruise ships. The Pride of America continued to suspend interisland cruises in March 2022.
In March 2019, 11,824 visitors (-27.6%) arrived on six out-of-state cruise ships (-50.0%); and another 11,937 visitors (-17.7%) came by air to board the Pride of America.
In the first quarter of 2023, 45,320 visitors came to Hawaii by way of 20 out-of-state cruise ships and 28,351 visitors flew to Hawaii and boarded the Pride of America. In the first quarter of 2022, 17,176 visitors entered the state via 13 out-of-state cruise ships. In the first quarter of 2019, 40,172 visitors came to Hawaii aboard 21 out-of-state cruise ships and 30,341 visitors flew to Hawaii and boarded the Pride of America.
Statement by DBEDT Director Chris J. Sadayasu:
The tourism industry was busy in March 2023 with over 900,000 visitors, the second-highest monthly figure in the last three years. While U.S. visitor arrivals remained high, visitation from international markets was the highest since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic at 182,478 arrivals and represented a 62.4 percent recovery from the same month in 2019. Arrivals from Japan and Canada in March were at the highest volumes since the beginning of the pandemic.
Japanese visitor arrivals recovered about 30 percent in March, and it is expected that the Japanese market will recover to 50 percent by the end of this year.
The tourism statistics for March 2023 were consistent with the other public Hawaii data released earlier this month: job counts in the hospitality sector increased by 11 percent, the hotel occupancy rate increased by 1.7 percentage points, and the transient accommodations tax increased 17.1 percent this March as compared with the same month in 2022.
