Armchair vigilantes can look at the FlipKey, Airbnb, VRBO, Homeaway, Craigslist etc ads for Big Island vacation rentals and if they don't see a tax number (which is supposed to be displayed prominently in all advertising) then they could send a message reminding them to do so, in a friendly way. They could be fined for that so you would be doing honest people a favor.
It would make policing it a lot easier, for the authorities - if they ever decide to crack down. I think most people do comply.
