Kaua Island is all set for business

Thursday, April 26, 2018

The Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority is greeting its visitors to Kauaʻi, explaining that the island is “Open for Business” following “tremendous progress” with relief measures with record rainfall and flooding on April 14 and 15, of this year.

 
The HTA states that the only exemption is the communities in the northernmost from Wainiha to Hāʻena, which were provisionally closed for all vehicle traffic while repairs continue to reopen Kūhiō Highway.

 
The Tourism Authority of Hawaiʻi wants to send this message to all travel trade professionals, industry partners and global travelers in domestic and international markets to keep in mind as they consider booking a trip to Kauaʻi.

 
Lately, communities located in east Oʻahu and Kauaʻi’s north shore took the impact of an unusually powerful thunderstorm that settled above those areas, first one in Oʻahu on the evening of April 13 and then over Kauaʻi on April 14 and 15.

 
Kauaʻi’s north shore got immersed as a result of the thunderstorm with more than 28 inches of record-setting rainfall in a 24-hours time, creating flood, landslides blocking Kūhiō Highway, and widespread property damage, the totality of which some lifelong Kauaʻi residents say they have never witnessed previously.
