Tourist dollars would be more evenly spread among residents as these types of venues grow.
Sometimes I think this is exactly what "they" are trying to prevent -- keeping tourists (read: dollars) centralized in a hotel makes everything easier to "manage"...

I have a friend who has a bed and breakfast place.It's on a 5 acre ag lot in Kapoho and it has the proper SUP and commercial kitchen.His idea was to have 4 separate cottages and a breakfast pavilion.The friendly people at planning came up with the idea of the covered walkway to tie it together under one roof to make it legal.

That is exactly what is needed. Not to expensive to maintain, create. People would like the convenience of a place to stay and go and return to after a days tripping and mom not have to be concerned about feeding the family and yet do it on a budget that would afford them the free up currency to spread around. Perhaps some atv trails for all.
If places like that were spread around within day tripping it would be a great way to see all of the Island and still have a place to stay at the end.
I remember back in the early '50s driving from Chicago to Pennsylvania via turnpike that had rest stops along the way. just expand on that idea, throw if small market stops (fruit and veggies) along the way. People wouldn't be tied to a motels / hotels. Only talking of a few acres 10 12 small cabins. Your friend is on the right track. If visitors knew about this vacation style I'd bet it would spread quickly. And just think no commercial over kill, With so much open land using only small acreage in each area your open country life style would remain.
