Call to Order and Pule: HTA Chief Administrative Officer Keith Regan announced the beginning of the meeting at 9:30 AM and conducted a roll call. All Board members were present. At 9:33 AM, Mr. Regan turned the floor over to Chair Rick Fried. Chair Fried recognized Kalani Ka‘anā‘anā, who opened the meeting with a pule, describing the intention of bringing new energy and new light in response to shifting circumstances. 2. Approval of Minutes of the February 27, 2020 Board Meeting: Chair Fried confirmed approval of the meeting minutes from the February Board meeting by roll call. 3. Report of Permitted Interactions at an Informational Meeting or Presentation Not Organized by the Board under HRS section 92-2.5(c): Chair Fried asked the Board whether there were any permitted interactions to report, and David Arakawa responded that he is a member of Governor David Ige’s Working Group on Economic Recovery for the Construction and Housing Section. As part of that assignment, Mr. Arakawa needed to ensure that construction workers were able to travel interisland, and viewed the screening process for arriving passengers at the airport. He commended HTA and requested a presentation from HTA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding the screening and contact tracing programs at the next Board meeting. Chair Fried thanked Representative Richard Onishi for attending. Chair Fried then said that there are over 200,000 people employed in the travel industry that need to go back to work. He added that a date needs to be set to reopen Hawai‘i so that the industry can plan around that date. Chair Fried continued that Hawai‘i could arguably reopen mainland travel sooner than people might think, hopefully by July 1st, based on the number of ICU hospital beds available in the event of a spike in cases. 4. Report of the CEO Relating to Staff’s Implementation of HTA’s Programs during February - April 2020: Chair Fried recognized HTA Chief Executive Officer Chris Tatum to present his report. Mr. Tatum said that in January there were about 27,800 visitor arrivals per day, and in February, there were about 28,500 visitor arrivals per day. After the first emergency proclamation on March 5th, HTA suspended its marketing campaigns and focused more on providing information from the Department of Health (DOH) and the Center for Disease Control to industry partners and travelers. In March, daily visitor arrivals decreased to about 14,000. On March 17th, Gov. Ige encouraged tourists to postpone their vacations and to limit social gatherings to 10 people. Mr. Tatum noted that HTA began an active campaign discouraging visitors from coming to Hawai‘i in support of the governor’s mitigation efforts.
