This should come as no surprise that Hawaii's tourism arrivals have dropped dramatically.
Visitors from outside of Hawaii, if they did show up, would have be in quarantine for 14 days after arriving. There's no fun in that!
The May visitor numbers are now in and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported:
Visitor arrivals to the Hawaiian Islands fell by a dramatic 98.9% in May compared with a year ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to preliminary statistics from the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
The HTA released the statistics Monday, indicating dramatic declines in virtually all travel markets — from the mainland as well as Japan, Canada and other international markets, including Australia, Asia and Europe.
A total of 9,116 visitors flew to Hawaii in May, compared with 841,376 total visitors, which included air and cruise ships, during the same month a year ago.
