MAUI DEALS & STEALS

ALOHA FROM MAUI!

HERE'S THE LATEST WORD ON MAUI’S REOPENING

I’m sorry to say I don’t have good news yet. I reported in my last newsletter that the state of Hawaii had a tentative date of September 1 to launch its pre-travel testing program, whereby travelers arriving with a negative pre-travel COVID test will not be subject to the 14-day mandatory quarantine that is currently required. However, based on the continuing COVID spikes on the U.S. mainland and a troubling spike occurring right now on the island of Oahu, our Governor recently announced that the launch of the pre-travel testing program will not begin until October 1 at the earliest. (So, there is no definite date yet.) Meanwhile, the 14-day mandatory quarantine is still in place until further notice.

How long will the quarantine be in place? That’s up to COVID-19. A global pandemic operates on its own schedule, unfortunately, and all we can do is wait and see how all this evolves. Our state and county leaders will continue to monitor all the complex factors surrounding COVID and its potential impacts for Hawaii. When they believe it is safe to do so, they will proceed cautiously to reopen tourism with pre-travel testing required.

We know how disappointing this is for our Maui visitors. This is also an extremely challenging time for the people of Maui, as we face record-breaking unemployment. We are anxious to get our tourism industry reopened, but we need to do it carefully in order to minimize the risks for our residents, our visitor industry workers, and our visitors. We want to make sure Hawaii is a safe destination for all. Mahalo for your understanding and patience as we all navigate the best we can through these challenging and uncertain times.

We continue to remain hopeful for a fall/early winter reopening, with a pre-travel COVID test required for people arriving into the islands. More details will be released by the Governor in coming weeks. For more information on the reopening date and pre-travel testing procedures as they are finalized, as well as the current 14-day mandatory quarantine in Hawaii, I recommend the Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau website. It’s the official source for the latest updates on travel requirements for visitors.

At this time, most accommodations on Maui are tentatively and hopefully planning for an October/November opening and are accepting reservations for fall and later. Below are some great book-direct offers for you from our advertisers, valid for travel from fall through the end of the year. Fingers are crossed that we can welcome you to Maui soon!!!

Mahalo (thank you) for subscribing* to our MAUI DEALS & STEALS newsletter. I’ll send you another update and the latest new book-direct deals next month. Meanwhile, follow us on Facebook, as we continue to share beautiful photos and updates from our island.

Aloha and A Hui Hou (Until We Meet Again),
