The Hawai'i Lodging & Tourism Association and members of the Hawai'i Tourism, Business, & Community Coalition have issued numerous letters to Gov. Ige and the four county mayors on a variety of issues—most recently to urge Governor Ige to issue public health guidance to travelers rather than enacting a booster mandate to the Safe Travels program.
The letter, which is pictured below at left and can be read in its entirety here, was sent as a follow-up to a series of meetings between our organization and members of the Governor's administration. Additional letters were sent to the mayors of each island requesting their consideration and support. (Please click the images at right to view the letter sent to each mayor).
Our efforts were ultimately realized when Gov. Ige announced that the Safe Travels would not require a booster shot.
