PLANNING TO VISIT HAWAI'I ?

Here's Tip #6 To Make Your Trip More Meaningful & Enjoyable

Eat at locally owned restaurants, not chains. Purchase groceries at locally owned businesses, not chains.

Attend as many Hawaiian music and cultural events as possible. Hawaiian musicians and artists need our support!
For example - Aloha Week Festivals (all islands,) Mokihana Festival on Kaua'i, Eo E Emalani Hula Festival in Koke'e, through the Koke'e Museum, Kaua'i and the Merry Monarch Festival in Hilo, Hawai'i

Write to the authors of guidebooks you have used when you get home. Urge them to include respect for the people, land and sea in their future editions. Point out that not all places in Hawai'i should be discovered or visited by tourists.
