China is, according to this press release, building the "first" simulated Mars base. We've had one on Mauna Loa for years at HI-SEAS. The Chinese plan to incorporate a tourist attraction into their base, so visitors can observe what a human presence on Mars might look like in the future.
A Mars Base and visitor attraction on Big Island sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm sure science and construction of a few buildings and a parking area might desecrate something or not offer 100% of the jobs to a single group of residents.
