HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) invites Hawai‘i Island residents to take part in community input sessions, which will provide space for community members to share their insights, experiences and ideas on the future of tourism on their island.
“These sessions are a chance for residents to share their mana‘o on tourism so that the Island of Hawai‘i’s destination management plans prioritize the areas that matter the most to its residents,” said Caroline Anderson, interim president and CEO of HTA. “It’s about listening to the community and ensuring that our destination management plans reflect what matters most to the people who call Hawai‘i Island home.”
The community’s input will help inform the development of Hawai‘i Island’s Destination Management Plan. The plan aims to balance the benefits of tourism with the needs of residents, preserve natural and cultural resources, and enhance residents’ quality of life while also enhancing the visitor experience on the island of Hawai‘i.
