What they DON'T tell you about flying to HAWAII 🌺😳

[Insitika]

Tourists shouldn't be blamed, it's greedy landlords.

[person]

Native Hawaiians are literally begging people not to go . The tourism has been skyrocketing inflation and homelessness. most houses are now Airbnb's, people getting evicted BC tourists pay more, houses are completely unanffordable. Please Go visit somewhere else.

Hawaii is slowly losing its Hawaiians 😢but it still is beautiful ❤ but there’s no Hawaii without the locals ☹️☹️

As a native Hawaiian I feel sad that this is happening I had to move due to personal stuff but my grandma who has been living there since she immigrated from the marshalle islands and my grandpa who was born there had to sadly leave there home due to tourist they were either really disrespectful trashing Hawaii or all of the above please stop visit there unless you are going to be kind and respectful towards locals and the land in its self

Edit: bro do your research our home was taken away from us even while we were our own nation.

Yes, Aloha, welcome but make sure you leave!

[dentennascimento-ramelb]

Love when people visit my home with respectful intentions, but please don't forget to go home 🤙🏼

[Redwolf]

A lot of Hawaiian don’t live on Hawaii because it is to expensive here on Hawaii and no one listens to the signs🤙🏾

The biggest thing that no one seems to understand when coming here is respect. Just respect people, respect places, respect that this is someone else’s home. Had a tourist tell one of my friends (who’s a local) to “go back to [her] country” during Covid (right after travel restrictions were removed) because she was Asian. Just show aloha, be kind when you visit, but always go back home.

I was stationed there in the 60's. I left my heart in Hawaii. Most beautiful place, hospitable people, great weather. Aloha Paradise.

What we don't tell you is that we really don't want you flying here at all haha!

As a Hawaiian, it's sad to see that tourists get a bad rap because of the actions of a few. For the most part, tourists are not disrespectful and try not to bother anyone, but because one family out of a thousand didn't follow the rules, it makes all tourists look bad; even the good ones. Sadly, this results in many people in my community and other Hawaiians hating haoles and tourists so much that it becomes borderline or actually racist and xenophobic. Yes, some problems in Hawaii are related to tourism, but not ALL of them are. Some issues are caused by ourselves, but locals are quick to point fingers at outsiders because it's easier to do so rather than to own up and fix it ourselves. And the worst part is that it works since locals already hate haoles and the haoles feel bad for things that happened a hundred years ago.

As an Oahu resident and a frequent flier to the other islands I can confirm it is beautiful

[heidi.swartzendruber]

thats awfully rude. it’s not the tourist fault people are winding up homeless, it’s that people raise prices for everything WHEN tourists visit. you should definitely welcome them and wish them an amazing time, but they shouldn’t move in there, they should just take their leave soon. as long as they are nice and don’t trash they land, why can’t they visit?

[heybroswhatsgoingon]

I’m from Hawaii and i got a few things to say.

As a Hawaiian I deeply ask you to stay but make sure you go! Tourists that come here cause inflation, or people getting kicked out of their house. And tourists are expected to pay more. Where I live, just across from my area, one area of homes cost about 1-4 MILLION dollars. And in Waikiki, nothing but tourists. So please, stay, but leave soon. Mahalo from a local hawaiian 🤙🏾.

P.S make sure you wen respect da locals 😂🤙🏾

[Higuys]

Also what they don't tell you: When you go back home from Hawaii you have to go through an extra scanner, because they don't want any invasive species going in or out of the state.

[rachelfeltner]

Nobody else questioning the song choice???

[nightsession]

As a hawaiian and frequent flier throughout the hawaiian island chain, I can confirm that both sides of the plane have beautiful views. Mahalo for visiting and hope you enjoyed your stay. 🤙🏼

[mariaiacopelli]

This is happening in Puerto Rico know everyone is renting as airbnb and you can't find housing and the rents are like in the states, people here don't make much money to pay more than they make something has to be done about this

No one should feel guilty for wanting to visit a beautiful place. There are people that travel to multiple places that are beautiful and the argument remains the same. Life is just becoming too expensive, and that’s the root of the issue, not the place.
