Sometime back, I read somewhere that it may take up to two years for Hawaii tourism to return to normal.

Well, it seems that theory is out the window. Right now, there's high visitor demand and travel companies are scrambling to meet the demand.

From Hawaii News Now:

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Memorial Day weekend traditionally marks the start of the summer season, and the tourism industry is trying their best to keep up with the high demand.

Tourism is roaring back in Hawaii and Jerry Agrusa, tourism expert at UH Manoa, didn’t expect for it to come back this quickly.

“I predicted it would come back, but I didn’t think it would come back the wave as big as it is this time,” said Agrusa.

While businesses are booked out and busy, they’re also trying to beef up their staff to keep up with the influx of demand.

While things aren't quite back to normal, it looks like it won't be long before it happens.
