Thank you, Luke for a great article.  

Tourists were less evident when they were confined to Waikiki, Polynesian Cultural Center, Kamehameha statue, Pali lookout and around the island tours.  Now they visit in our malls, stay in our neighborhoods, and want more of a local experience including beaches, hiking,  and looking at native plants in non-public areas.  We now have neighborhood shopping areas that now cater to their needs.  High end stores need big time shoppers.  Definitely not local.

Hawaii has always been inclusive of others and has given a wide berth to differences...but there are no controls.  People do what they want without thinking about their neighbors.  Tour buses and vans driving and stopping for their convenience.  Using our pot holed roads.  Beaches are over used.  There are a sewage spills with heavy rains and signage now for high bacteria counts.

Other economic engines, where people can work from home, limit to ecotourism (alt/ complem healing practice), etc.
