LIHU‘E — The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority and Kaua‘i Visitors Bureau invite the public to meetings to learn about the short-range visitor plan and steps being taken to manage tourism and address visitor behaviors that adversely affect Kaua‘i’s communities.
The meetings are from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16 from at the Royal Sonesta Kaua‘i Resort Lihu‘e, and Wednesday, Aug. 17 at the Church of the Pacific in Princeville. The initiatives being worked on are a result of the input provided by the community in the Kaua‘i Destination Management Action Plan (2021-2023), which focuses on solutions to help rebuild, redefine and reset the direction of tourism.
Actions are being implemented in collaboration with numerous community, industry and government partners. They include educating visitors about mindful travel, supporting increased management and protection of natural resources, investing in the perpetuation of Hawaiian culture, supporting local businesses and managing hotspot locations.
