Summary:
The recent Maui wildfires took more than 100 lives, displaced thousands of residents, and destroyed Lahaina, a historic town and prominent tourist destination. Since Maui’s economy depends on tourism, officials have allowed outsiders to visit the island. However, locals are urging visitors to stay away so they can recover from the tragedy. This case study explores the underlying reasons for local tensions over tourism in Hawaii and examines the ways in which Maui could rebuild itself without straining its resources.
