#SouthwestAirlines made huge expansions to its #Hawaii route network throughout the pandemic. But, it appears that they're not planning anymore major expansions soon.

A 4th international partner has been added to #Hawaii's #SafeTravels program. But with the strictest controls in the world, we likely won't see many visitors from them.

Your next #Hawaii vacation could cost a bit more thanks to potential increases in both the transient accommodations tax and rental car surcharges passed by our legislature.

How do we balance tourism with quality of life for #Hawaii residents? One interesting idea proposes we reserve certain hotspots for residents only during weekends.

The ugly, disruptive but entirely necessary #Waikiki sand replenishment project will finish earlier than projected! But, it also means more disruptions for now.

The absence of visitors for most of last year caused #GoBikiHi's revenues to fall by 50%. So to stay afloat, they're reducing their services by 60% over the coming months.

Great news! You can now make online reservations for #HanaumaBay. But, there are some interesting restrictions associated with the city's new system.

As #Hawaii officials consider killing its goose that lays the golden egg, they're also looking to ax funding for the Visitor Aloha Society of Aloha. Bad idea.

I will never understand our officials in #Hawaii. Some doesn't care about the #pandemic while others are so cautious that they let $30 million in tests to expire!

After being closed for nearly a year and a half, #Oahu's #TurtleBayResort is getting ready to reopen its doors on July 1 with a mostly new look.

Good news! Finally, #Hawaii is launching a #vaccinepassport! For now, however, it's just for inter-island travel. However, there are some caveats to the program.

The crush of visitors heading back to #Maui has county officials asking "what can we do to balance tourism with locals?" The answer could be more restrictions.

If you're headed to the #BigIsland and have already completed your COVID-19 vaccination, you can now skip their post-arrival testing by simply showing your card.

As #Hawaii seeks to bring balance to tourism, additional state parks on #Kauai will begin charging fees. I have no Kauai pictures, so enjoy this long exposure wave photo.

To commemorate its elimination of mileage expirations, #HawaiianAirlines is giving away a whopping 1 million #HawaiianMiles! That's enough for 25 RT flights to #Vegas.

Visitors are surging back, car manufacturers are having issues, and #carrental companies sold a ton of cars. The results? A car rental apocalypse in #Hawaii.

It looks as if #Hawaii is no longer working on an electronic #vaccinepassport. Plus, the new passport is expected to be trialed with inter-island travel soon.

With the worst per-capita rate of infection in #Hawaii, #Maui plans to institute post-arrival testing to help identify the source of its current outbreak.

On your next trip to #Oahu, you may want to pack a reusable bag. Or, if you're lucky, your hotel will give you one when you check in.
