Stay Or Go? The Tourists Still Heading To Hawaii

Last week we watched on as fires wiped out parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui. For many Aussies, it brought back memories of our own wild fires in the Summer of 2019 and 2020. And just like the situation we found ourselves in back then, there are mixed messages about whether tourists should be visiting and spending their money in a community that desperately needs it, or if they should be staying away to let those communities heal. In this episode of The Quicky, we find out of travel to Hawaii should be suspended or if tourist dollars can go some way to helping a community rebuild after tragedy.
