Statewide news from the NOW network
Tourism remains central to Hawaiʻi’s economy and daily life. This hub collects visitor-industry reporting from Maui Now, Big Island Now and Kauaʻi Now, including hotels, airlines, attractions, destination management and community debates about visitor impacts. Coverage is gathered from the neighbor-island newsrooms in the NOW network; when those sites report on statewide tourism policy or Honolulu-based agencies, those stories appear here too. Follow each headline to the original article for the full report.
