Destination Management

The Community-Based Tourism program supports initiatives that the community, visitor industry, and other sectors deem necessary to move Hawai‘i’s visitor industry forward.

Destination Management Action Plans

HTA, in partnership with the counties and the respective island visitors bureau, developed Destination Management Action Plans (DMAPs) for Kaua‘i, Maui Nui (Maui, Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i), O‘ahu and Hawai‘i Island. This work will help in recovery efforts and rebuild tourism.

As defined in HTA’s Strategic Plan 2020-2025, destination management includes attracting and educating responsible visitors; advocating for solutions to overcrowded attractions, overtaxed infrastructure, and other tourism-related problems; and working with other responsible agencies to improve natural and cultural assets valued by both Hawai‘i residents and visitors.

Purpose

  • Rebuild, redefine and reset tourism’s direction over a three-year period through a collaborative process
  • Collaborate and engage Hawaii’s visitor industry, communities, other sectors, and other government agencies
  • Identify areas of need that require management for proactive mitigation planning
