Kauai's Recovery Efforts Shouldn't Come at the Expense of Visitors The island of Kauai, one of Hawaii's most popular tourist destinations, is struggling to recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Lowell.
Officials are urging visitors to postpone their trips, citing the need for recovery efforts to take precedence over tourism. Tourism is a vital part of Kauai's economy, employing four out of every 10 residents.
However, with thousands still without power and long lines at the airport, it's clear that the island needs support.
