Tourism is a fickle business, not something anyone with half a brain would want to depend on. To compound the problem, Hawaii's tourism is 100% reliant on air travel, a fragile "bottleneck" that can be easily disrupted by rising fuel prices, a terrorist attack or simply airlines going out of business. Just last year the airlines were complaining there wasn't enough hotel inventory in Oahu to accommodate the record-breaking number of travelers flying to the islands. The powers that be obviously aren't looking past next quarter's earnings, forgetting the unending cycle of boom or bust. And here we are again.
