Maui mayor reveals when West Maui will reopen to tourism after deadly disaster Hawaii suffered the deadliest US wildfire in more than a century when a fire raged through Lahaina town, killing at least 99 people
Most of West Maui in Hawaii could be reopened to tourists as early as next month following August’s deadly wildfires, according to its mayor.
Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said Monday that all of West Maui, except for burned-out sections of historic Lahaina, will reopen to tourism on Nov. 1. The mayor said the decision to reopen came after talking about it with his Lahaina advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.
