Tourism report: focus on Native Hawaiian values


The Advertiser has an article on the just-released state-financed report on sustainable tourism, including:

"To sustain Hawai'i's tourism industry, the state should focus on Native Hawaiian values, do a better job of tracking and regulating certain tourism businesses, and find the money to prevent the spread of invasive species."

"One recommendation was to base sustainable tourism on Native Hawaiian concepts of lokahi, or harmony; malama 'aina, or stewardship of the land; ho'okipa, or hospitality; kuleana, or responsibility; and aloha."

"The Native Hawaiian advisory group involved in the study recommended getting a voting seat for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on the Hawai'i Tourism Authority and the Board of Land and Natural Resources. Another recommendation was that the state settle with OHA on the Ceded Land Trust, dealing with how the state will pay for use of lands once held by the Hawaiian monarchy, which the group said is critical for tourism because of links to airports and harbors."

The sociocultural and public input study is available at hawaiitourismstudy.com.
