    2 days ago:

    The state’s tourism chief Jimmy Tokioka acknowledged the tragedy but reiterated that the “rest of Hawaii is open”

    Maybe dont complain to the tourists but about your government instead.

      That’s a bit of an incomplete quote. It’s referring to the other islands in the state.

      “The rest of the state is open,” Tokioka said. Tokioka said rooms are available on Kauai and the Big Island, and that people “can find other accommodations.”
