Hawaii’s visitor industry slowly reopening
Waikiki wasn’t exactly raining visitors Sunday, but there were some signs that the launch of the state’s pre-arrival testing plan has brought some green shoots.
The streets and sidewalks of the state’s top tourism district were less barren. Biki rental bikes were back. There were lines in some restaurants. And, a few more shuttered hotels reopened, including The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, which had been closed to new hotel reservations since the state’s first COVID-19 lockdowns at the end of March.
