The Hawaii Tourism Authority predicts that a record setting 8.5 million visitors will come to the Hawaiian Islands in 2013 and spend a total of $15.8 billion. This is approximately 500,000 more visitors then 2012 and an additional $1.5 billion in spending. In terms of percentage, this means a 6.3 percent increase in visitors and a 10.7 percent increase in spending from a year prior. David Uchiyama, the Vice President of Brand Management for the HTA, stated, “All of our markets performed exceptionally well last year. Since our last review in July, we’ve seen incremental gains in each market and we expect more gains based on opportunities created by seat growth and market demand.”
