Could we witness the end of tourism in hawaii

[Durian Fiend]

Leading to the average consumer having less income to spend on hospitality sectors in travel and tourism. This in turn is taking a toll on airlines who are seeing sharp declines in travel.

If circumstances deteriorate enough, the tourism industry in hawaii could trickle to a close.

What would life be like if that happened.

There has not been a sharp decline in air travel recently.   When was the last time you were on a commerical flight?  Covid has caused a pent up demand for travel so people have been willing to pay the higher costs.  

With regards to tourism "closing", it's not an all or nothing proposition.  A decline is certainly possible in the long term.  More likely is a decline in the price of fuel in the near term and a return to normalcy, more or less.
