ʻO Steinmetz ka mea hoʻokumu o hana hou. huakaʻi, kahi kūkākūkā honua me nā alakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma 117 mau ʻāina e komo pū ana.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- The travel and tourism industry in the State is working hard to reopen for visitors on August 1, but the situation in regards to COVID-19 had changed dramatically in most major source visitors source markets.
- According to a report by Hawaii Civil Beat, the mayors of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Kauai counties said their islands are no longer ready to allow incoming trans-Pacific travelers to opt-out of the state's 14-day quarantine — at least not without some major policy changes.
- I would support such a move as highly appropriate to secure the future of our important travel and tourism industry, and the welfare of our people.
