Hawaii Governor To Tourists: Stay Away… Hawaii Gov. David Ige said airlines have agreed to “amplify the message” that Hawaii has no aloha for tourists right now.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige on Monday called on tourists to steer clear of Hawaii, as Covid-19 cases continue to surge, overtaxing the state’s health care system.
Ige stopped short of imposing the sort of travel restrictions that effectively shut down Hawaii’s tourism industry when he put them in place in March 2020. Instead, the governor called on people to voluntarily postpone non-essential travel to and from Hawaii until after October.
“They would have a much, much better experience” if tourists wait until the late fall to visit the islands, Ige said on Monday.
