Who could have predicted this horrific loss of human life and the utter worldwide disruption to our lives? Throughout these challenging times, there have been stories of heroism at every level – from front line workers giving their all to combat the spread of this disease to voices of children sharing their hope in the face of tragedy. In our last NOTAM, we considered how museums and other institutions might come together to shed some light and perhaps pioneer alternate forms of engagement and learning. After all, there is no set of instructions on how we move forward. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead We hope our virtual and in-person programs have reduced the isolation many experience daily. In the midst of these trying times, Hawaii hosted our nation’s 75th WWII Commemoration, celebrating the hope and peace that followed the end of this global conflict.

  • Kailua-Kona, Hi
    David Armstrong [email protected] www.cruiseplannerslv.com 702-823-5763 KAILUA-KONA, HI OVERVIEW Introduction The famed Kona coast covers about two-thirds of the western coastline of Hawaii Island—the perfect spot for spectacular sunsets. At the heart of Kona is the town of Kailua-Kona, where many of the area's restaurants and tourist activities are clustered. Along the North Kona and South Kohala coasts, you'll find some of Hawaii's most luxurious resorts. Spend several days exploring Kailua-Kona's historical and cultural attractions, engaging in watersports, deep-sea fishing and diving, or just relaxing on the many spectacular beaches. Perhaps the Kona coast's biggest attraction is its fine, sunny weather—daytime temperatures average in the high 70s F/23-26 C year-round. Sights—Hawaiian history at Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park; King Kamehameha's compound, Kamakahonu, and reconstructed temple, Ahuena Heiau; a view of Kilauea's lava flows from the ground or a helicopter. Museums—Viewing indigenous Hawaiian artifacts at Hulihee Palace and Museum; experiencing coffee growing at the Kona Coffee Living History Farm; learning about the region's agricultural roots at the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum. Memorable Meals—Huggo's for fresh seafood; Merriman's landmark Hawaiian regional cuisine; Teshima's Restaurant in Honalo for satisfying local fare and friendly service; Jackie Ray's for seafood and grilled meats; pack a picnic and watch the sunset on one of Kona's many beaches. Late Night—The Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel; drinks and dancing at the Mask-querade Bar; refreshing cocktails and light fare at Huggo's on the Rocks.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before The
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM SENATE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY, INTERGOVERNMENTAL, AND MILITARY AFFAIRS SENATE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH Monday, March 22, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 via videoconference In consideration of HOUSE BILL NO. 1286 HD2 RELATING TO TRAVEL Chairs Wakai, Nishihara, and Keohokālole; Vice Chairs Misalucha, English, and Baker; and members of the Senate Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism; Senate Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs; and Senate Committee on Health: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) is providing comments on House Bill 1286 HD2, which exempts any person from the post-arrival mandatory self-quarantine if the person receives a negative test result prior to arrival. It allows the governor to establish statewide conditions for an exemption. It requires certain COVID-19 tests for travelers who do not have a test result upon arrival to avoid mandatory self-quarantine. It also requires any person who does not obtain a negative test result for COVID-19 pre-arrival to be responsible for all costs associated with that person's mandatory self-quarantine. This bill would standardize the protocols across the state for all travelers to Hawai‘i and between the counties, which would help to make it less confusing for everyone. There are different protocols for trans-Pacific travelers and interisland travelers, which have been a challenge to navigate and understand. A consistent statewide policy for trans-Pacific and interisland travel that is based on protecting the people and communities of Hawai‘i is a prudent approach.
