“Both these Island “Gem” paradises have tremendous untapped potential in both tourism and commerce——”
I hardly think that tourism in Hawaii is “untapped”——it’s wall to wall tourists
.
Sad to say...but you know little of Hawaii’s race and ethnic problems. The Whites, the Japanese, The Chinese, The Filipinos, The Democrat Party, The Hispanics, the Native Hawaiians (They all hate each other racially), and the Communist labor Unions, have destroyed the commercial shipping, agriculture, buffalo, cattle, sugar cane and pineapple business from what it once was.
The tourism flourishes because Hawaii is both paradise and United States history. Tourism could be stronger, if the political climate would change to one more friendly to business. The Democrat Party welfare state taxes, kills the economy on all sides, just like New York and California. Sad for such a great state.
The one thing that saves Hawaii is its strategic location for the USA military requirements...which Obama had literally destroyed, with the willing aid of the Hawaiian Democrat Party. It’s called, self destructing ones self!!! Hawaii & Puerto Rico are one and the same...Paradises that failed to meet the best they can be because of Democrat Party politics, greed and poor leadership. That present Governor is a 100% disgrace to the entire state of Hawaii...I wonder what the Hawaii voters were thinking when they elected this literal, buffoon, Democrat Party moron.
