Maui wildfires: Travellers urged to stay away as Hawaii struggles with rescues, recoveries

Показать описание
Maui is the top destination for Canadians vacationing in Hawaii, which hosts nearly 300,000 Canadians every year. Now at Kahului airport, streams of people are rushing to secure outgoing flights after fleeing the fast-moving wildfires.

As people evacuate — with rescues and recoveries still happening, and months of rebuilding still ahead — Hawaii's lieutenant governor is urging others to stay away.

Those with plans to visit Maui are encouraged to call their travel agent or directly contact their airline, hotel or tour operator to cancel or postpone any trips they had booked.

Many hotels and airlines are being flexible, waiving change and cancellation fees. Globall’s Catherine Urquhart has the details.

Strange days indeed when people need to be "urged" to stay away from a disaster area...

I feel bad for the people that live there, I pray for those who lost their livelihood, their home and their loved ones.

It's not hard to stay away from Maui. Travelling there has become completely unaffordable the past few years. I've never seen accommodations so expensive.

Why visit as to whats going on. Stay away and let the people in charge do their job. They dont need a bunch of tourists taking pictures..

Maui County's hazard mitigation plan, which was last updated in 2020, noted the risk of wildfire in Lahaina, identifying the town and other West Maui communities as having frequent ignitions and many buildings at risk of damage.
