I am supposed to arrive 6/19. I’ve made peace with the fact that I probably won’t be going. The just hope Hawaiian Airlines cancels my flight so that I don’t get stuck with a credit.
Hawaii is so dependent on tourism that if this 14 day quarantine were in place all the way till November they would be in for one heck of a recession/depression. I would be very surprised if its not lifted sometime this summer. I am much more concerened with our government (Canada) requiring some kind of quarantine rules after international travel being instituted.I am curious if Hawaii will then lift the 14 day quarantine for everyone coming in/leaving? That is what I am most concerned about. Sure we can get there; but we will have to stay in our hotel room for 14 days...

I understand the mixed feelings on Tourism. I have grown up in Vancouver Canada and use to take my family to Whistler, Tofino and these places have gotten so popular that i am now effectively priced out. Thankfully theres other good local destinations.it won't be a recession/depression...it will likely be a lot worse...
it may already be too long/too late to avoid long lasting damage...the alternative would be to sacrifice maybe 5-10%+ of the population to the virus (fatality rate goes way up after hospitals run out of ventilators and rooms)
if you really want to see something startling...try looking up the current unemployment % for hawaii...and realize that just like every other state...that number is still lower than what it actually is...just don't be drinking anything if you decide to do so.
a lot of the people that don't want tourists to come have that opinion because of a lack of faith in the competence of the state government...its more of a "we don't trust the government to even do what they said they'll do...so please don't come". some don't want tourists to come because they don't want people to fly all the way out to hawaii and have to spend their entire trip in a hotel room...and waste their money that way. and of course there are a few that don't want any tourists to come at all (tho there have always been a few that felt this way...there was simply no valid excuse for them to say so openly before now.)
