Read MoreState May Defund Hawaii Tourism Authority
Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel
The pandemic and ensuing restrictions have wreaked havoc on Hawaii’s tourism industry. So, to me, it’s a bit surprising that the state may defund the Hawaii Tourism Authority. But, effectively, that’s precisely what Governor David Ige is doing. This decision, of course, shouldn’t surprise anyone. It comes as no surprise that Hawaii has seen a […]

However, Sweden starts to restrict arrivals to the country from this Saturday […]
