Hawaii tourism survey shows resident support waning
Hawaii's tourism industry is taking a toll on local residents. According to a new survey, resident sentiment is now at 53% -- among the lowest in recent years. Hawaii's tourism industry is a key source of income for many local families, but fewer residents now believe it has brought more benefits than problems. This is according to a recent resident sentiment survey by the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. The survey also found a decrease in support over visitors disrespecting the Hawaiian culture and the 'aina. While residents recognize the economic value of tourism, the Hawaii Tourism Authority has called for more efforts to educate visitors about the other benefits.
