AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Tourism Management: The Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority rolled out 2026–28 Destination Management Action Plans for Hawaiʻi Island, Kaua‘i, Lāna‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i and O‘ahu, focusing on hotspots under strain and actions shaped by island residents plus industry and government partners. Local Travel Disruptions: Minor coastal flooding is possible Aug. 9–11 during peak monthly high tides on parts of Big Island, with warnings for low-lying roads, docks and boat ramps. Visitor Experience & Costs: A new report highlights how airline lounge access is getting more complicated and pricey, with elite perks increasingly tied to specific cards, fare types and spending. Short-Term Rental Rules: On Hawaiʻi Island, a proposal would create a new “bed and breakfast” tax class for hosted short-term rentals in a primary residence (under 180 days), aiming to differentiate them from unhosted vacation rentals. Airline Changes: American Airlines is ending free business-class upgrades on some Hawaii routes, adding to traveler frustration. Safety & Crime: A champion swimmer accused of beating a security guard to death at Maui’s Sands of Kahana resort faces murder charges. Culture & Community: Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site marks its 54th anniversary with a free Hawaiian Cultural Festival Aug. 15–16 in Kawaihae.
