Thanks for the good links.
"Governor says potential lava viewing site wouldn't have to be in Puna, maybe build it in Hilo?"
The capacity of the viewing site to draw tourists will have a great deal to with its proximity to the flow.
See the eruption from 5 or 6 or 10 or 15 miles away, you look at the beautiful view for a few minutes, and say great or cool. And get in your car and drive away.
Get with 1/2 or 3/4 mile of this spectacle (videos show many lucky people, mostly journalists and scientists, who got the opportunity), most people will stand mesmerized at the sight for an hour.
Tourists will come to Hawaii Island for a distant lava viewing site? Wishful thinking. Iceland shows how to do it.
