Soaring travel costs strain Hawaii's fragile tourism industry
Original: What soaring travel costs means for Hawaiʻi's teetering tourist industry
Hawaii's tourism industry is under strain as airfares and overall travel costs continue to climb. Higher prices for flights and accommodation are making trips to the islands less affordable, raising concerns that fewer visitors will come and that businesses dependent on tourism will suffer. Observers are watching how the industry, already facing economic pressure, will cope if elevated travel costs persist through the year.
Why now: Rising flight and travel costs are threatening visitor numbers in a state whose economy depends heavily on tourism.
