Hawaii Tourism Spend Analytics & Forecast: Sector Drivers and Restraints

A lively, sunny tropical weather is a major factor driving the tourism industry in the Hawaii islands. In addition, a major factor impacting tourism in the region is the excellent infrastructure facilities provided for tourists, which acts as a major driver for tourism. In addition, Hawaii is a popular destination for international tourists coming from China, Japan and South Korea and domestic tourists coming from the West Coast and East Coast. Tourism in Hawaii is growing in record numbers and its reputation for being a tropical paradise with pristine beaches and a rich culture and history makes Hawaii an attractive destination for tourists. However, as Hawaii is far from the US mainland, there is a huge cost in transporting products for everyday use, which makes Hawaii a comparatively expensive destination for tourists. Besides, a huge influx of tourists is also taking a toll on the pristine natural beauty of this region and may act as a restraint on the tourism sector in Hawaii.
