Tourists Are Kings

Although we highlighted a big part of the Hawaiian economy being as a result of coffee and cocoa exports, the real economic driver in this state is tourism. Tourists basically own Hawaii as more than ten million of them visited the state in 2019.

When tourists come, they contribute immensely to the Hawaiian economy and records say that more than 20% of the state’s revenue comes from them. That’s why many policies in the state are made to favor tourism in one way or the other, and even if it’s just because of the beaches and warm weather, this business will continue to thrive.
