Hawaii Tourism Authority

And most roads are currently closed.

But the HTA, Hawaii Tourism Authority, is still asking visitors with Kauai trips coming in the near future to reschedule or consider another Hawaiian island while recovery continues.

And I've had so many conversations through DMs, emails about what this actually means.

And I've seen so many of you with trips coming up, weddings, anniversaries, and it's a hard decision.

Because so many of you listened to that episode, I wanted to come back real quick and make sure you have the latest information as of today, September 10th at 8 a.m. Kauai time.

Right now, the Hawaii Tourism Authority, HTA, is encouraging travelers with upcoming Kauai plans to reschedule or consider visiting another neighboring island while Kauai continues its recovery efforts.

is a huge, meaningful change.

And I do my best to make sure that the advice I'm giving you is mirroring and following the current guidance of the HTA.

Because for some of you, that can mean really changing a wedding, moving flights, hotels, figuring out what happens to those reservations.

And that's a huge ask, and I don't want to just simply gloss over it.

But at the same time, I think we need to take seriously what Kauai is going through and what the Hawaii Tourism Authority are asking those with close upcoming trips to Kauai.

The latest visitor guidance says that Kauai is still clearing roads, restoring power, moving debris, and focusing resources on immediate needs of the residents.
