Tourism in Hawaii Today — and the Future (Business In Hawaii)

A New Perspective on Tourism.

Now a business and management consultant, Frank Haas has a long career in the Hawaii tourism and hospitality industry, especially in tourism marketing. Haas has a new perspective on tourism — Hawaii’s largest industry. Nearly 9 million tourists came to Hawaii in 2017 — a new record. But there are cries for a government and industry review of tourism, especially in light of over-crowding, impact to housing, and environmental issues — can tourism be “managed” better? What are the critical issues for Hawaii tourism’s future for the Hawaii Tourism Authority and for the State government, and Hawaii society? The host for this episode is Ray Tsuchiyama. The guest for this episode is Frank Haas.
