Hawaii is taking tip-toe steps in reopening the islands to tourism.
The first step is allowing interisland travel.
According to the Honolulu Civil Beat:
In a first step toward restarting the state’s largest private employment sector, Hawaii’s tourism industry will begin opening up on June 16, but only for people traveling within the state among the neighbor islands, Gov. David Ige said on Monday.
The announcement that interisland travel will resume came as industry executives have been expressing increasing frustration about the lack of a clear plan for reopening an industry that provided about one in six jobs statewide before it was all but shut down to control the spread of COVID-19.
