Aloha CARE Committee Members,
First a huge MAHALO to Chair King for keeping CC17-231 alive! It was introduced back in May 2017. It was a hot topic then and still is today four years later! I am testifying in strong support for the Ho'omahua Initiative. I am honored to be part of a Team that strives to roll out this Initiative in conjunction with a Makai Watch Program at Honolua Bay. With the re-opening of our island Maui, the visitors are Loving Honolua to death again. The State has completed their Draft Management Plan of Honolua which has not been finalized yet. So in the interim, Honolua needs the Objectives and Goals of this Initiative to be implemented sooner rather than later. The Real Time Data will give everyone current up-to-date information to help determine the best way to malama Honolua. This Initiative will help everyone in the better management of Tourism and visitors to all our special sensitive places. Such current information will also be beneficial in educating the Tourism Industry and all the people who work in it. As a Concierges in Ka'anapali I can see all the wonderful ways this Initiative will help create a balance between residents, visitors, businesses, the environment and cultural needs. The Objectives and Goals are very important in order to inform and educate you, our decision makers about the special places and communities you represent so truly beneficial decisions will be made and doable Strategic Plans can be implemented in REAL Time! Please digest all the information in the Presentation and please take ALL this Initiatives' points to Heart! Maui Nui will then Thrive and be forever grateful!!
Mahalo for your time and consideration,
