Visitors Should Come To Hawaii

During the summer and winter, many families like to go on vacations to tropical locations in order to take in the beautiful and amazing sights that they might not be able to experience at home. Two popular places to visit are Florida and Hawaii. While many believe that one beach community is as good as any other, there are many differences between Hawaii and Florida that make them suited for different people, depending on what kind of vacation they want to experience. In particular there are differences in the cultures, weather, and attractions of these two beach communities.

For instance, on the Tripadvisor website, the text states that most “tourists visit the main island to see all the things families can do there”. What people can do there is visit Kilauea volcano on the main island . Tourists can also visit the other Hawaiian islands to see Haleakala national park. This shows that most people would rather visit the main island instead of the other islands. Also a lot of people go to Hawaii just to visit Kilauea volcano. Even though most people go to Hawaii just for Kilauea, some people visit to see the other islands and the national park that is in the Hawaiian state.

Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean; it is one of the many islands in Polynesia. It is composed of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, the island of Hawaii being the largest island of the eight (see attached map). According to the census bureau, as of 2014, Hawaii ‘s population is approximately 1,419,561 with Native Hawaiians forming only 10% of the population; in order to be considered a Native Hawaiian you must have one native great-grandparent (2014 United States Census Bureau). Hawaii’s official languages are English and Hawaiian. Hawaii was first occupied by people coming from the Marquesas Islands approximately 1500 years ago followed by people from Tahiti. In 1778 Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii finding approximately 300,00 Hawaiians there. In the 1850’s Hawaiians worked in sugar cane plantations. In 1983 Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and in 1900 Hawaii became a United States Territory. Fifty-nine years later, in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. Tourism plays a huge role in Hawaii’s culture; it is a big part of its economy and social life. This paper will be discussing Hawaii’s tourism and it’s effects.

Hawaii has a nickname which is called The Aloha State. The capital of hawaii is Honolulu. Hawaii has a palace called “Iolani Palace in honolulu, it is the only royal palace in the United States”. Hawaii is the longest island chain in the entire world and they only have 12 letters instead of 24 letters. The largest Dormant Volcano is the Haleakala (“Hawaii facts”). One of Hawaii's main rules are that you cannot have snakes as a pet they are also one of the places that only has two different kinds of lava.”Hawaii is famous for its world-class beaches and they come in many colors” for example they are famous for the black beach which is black because of the lava.Hawaii has one of the smallest populations in the United States they only have 1.4 million people in Hawaii which is very small compared to a lot of other places in the United States (“Hawaii

There is a different feel about entertainment on the islands. Hawaii emphasizes their culture through entertainment offering numerous Polynesian shows and the traditional Luau. They too have night life if you visit Honolulu or Waikiki but the other islands are more rural with little night life. Unlike Florida, you won’t find many bands that come to perform because of the distance it takes to travel to the Islands. Also, if you grow bored then you are “stuck” on the island causing many people to feel like they have “island fever”. There are a lot of sights to see in Hawaii, so if you are into exploring there is plenty to do to keep you from getting bored. Hike to a waterfall or up a mountain, zip line through the forests, go snorkeling, paddle boarding, or surfing. Hawaii is the home of surfing with all the world class surf spots of Pipeline, Sunset Beach, Waimea, and Jaws. There are big waves, and big surf. With all the outdoor activities in Hawaii the entertainment is endless. Hawaii and Florida both have fun things to do for entertainment but you will have to decide what you like and which lifestyle you can afford.

Hawaii is known for is crystal clear water, its tropical climate, and its Breathtaking scenery.

Hawaii, translated from the ancient Hawaiian language should mean paradise because that's what it is. Hawaii has a climate that varies only several degrees in temperature year round and the sun always shines. The rainy season is in January, but it isn't so rainy that it deters visitors. In fact, winter is one of the most popular times of year to visit Hawaii. This is probably because it is cold and dreary just about everywhere else in the United States. Hawaii makes for the perfect getaway for Californians because it is only about a three-hour flight.

Everyone thinks Alaska is always cold, even in summer. Well you thought wrong! In the winter it’s cold, yes, very, very cold. But in the summer, Alaska gets warm, like in the eighties. Yes you can go swimming, and yes you can wear shorts. Hawaii is a group of beautiful islands known as, Big Island, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. I remember my parents getting married on the island of Oahu. I was really young. I was born in Omaha, Nebraska. I do not remember much about it though.

Hawaii, other than its volcanoes and amazing beaches, is probably best known for its tourism. Hawaii attracts people from all over the world to come and visit. It has many different types of attractions but a lot of its charm lies in its natural life.

The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu (the star on the map shows where the capital is). People have a nickname for the state, they call it the “Aloha State” The current population for Hawaii is 1,360,301. It's pretty small compared to some of the mainland states. Hawaii is located at (21.3000°N, 157.8167°W). Honolulu is 4,957 miles from New York City. We acquired Hawaii in 1959. What happened was a group of sugar and pineapple businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and supported by U.S. soldiers and marines overthrew Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. Two years later, the Republic of Hawaii was established as a U.S. territory making Hawaii our 50th state.

American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall "cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani-Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order to persuade her readers into believing that tourism can actually be a bad thing for an economy. On the other hand, in his article "Surf's Up for the Economy in Hawaii," Jim

Warm sand, blue waves, and the tropical sun—this is what Hawaii is all about. But the beaches and the dramatic landscape is not all Hawaii has to offer. Hawaii is rich with the culture of its past: fighting, sporting, and celebrating—was a big part of ancient Hawaiian culture.

Hawaii’s visitor industry being the largest generator of jobs among the major industry sectors in the state, providing 152,864 jobs in 2010. Tourism is also the largest source of private capital for the Hawaiian Islands, capping out at $12.6 billion in visitor spending and $ 1.1 billion in tax revenue in 2011; all contributing to 24.3 percent of Gross State Product (GSP). The gross output for the state in 2012 was 72.4 billion, rising every year. Like all countries and states it wasn’t always this way. The rise and falls, and ups and downs of a turbulent pass from political take overs and economic diversities have molded Hawaii into the tourism mecca it is today. From the first Polynesian that settle to the discovery from Captain Cook, and

Hawaii has a nice climate and the humidity is also not too bad there. It’s nice, sunny, and has many nice places to go filled with culture and fresh air. Hawaii is a popular tourist place and has many attractions, such as

Hawaii is an attractive place. The view in Hawaii is amazingly beautiful and combined with the traditional culture, it is heaven. As everyone knows Hawaii’s resources come from outside of the island because we really can’t do much to support ourselves. We even can’t grow enough food for ourselves and we don’t have big factory to grow our manufacturing. So what we can do is growing our tourisms and with the growth of the tourisms. Business in Hawaii is growing too.
