How will Trump Affect Hawaii Tourism

How will Trump Affect Hawaii Tourism; Will his Federal Support be Politicized (Community Matters - recorded on 1/28/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Jerry Agrusa.

The discussion was: Jerry Agrusa of the Travel Management Schools at UH Manoa helps us understand the current strength and resilience of tourism in Hawaii, and how Trump's new and transactional regime is likely to affect it going forward.

The takeaway was: Tourism is and remains the engine of our economy. We need to follow it carefully, and examine internal and external factors, like Trump, in order to understand, protect and preserve it for the future of our state's economy.
