Impact of Tourism on Hawaii
The Environmental Impact of Tourism on Hawaii and its Natives
By: Rylee Blair
As skiers, hikers, sightseers, beachgoers and travelers pack their bags and head out for their vacations, they probably never even consider that
what they are about to embark upon happens to be the largest industry in the world. Millions of people travel domestically and internationally
each year to experience places and things that are totally out of their ordinary lifestyle and to get their minds off the hustle bustle of everyday
life. Because of Hawaii's year–round tropical climates, cultural experiences and leisurely atmosphere, it is one of the world's most popular tourist
destinations and attracts over 9 million visitors each year. Marine and...show more content...
This kind of growth doesn't happen without displacing land, people, animals, etc. Land based resources, people's culture and historical symbols
are often the victims of tourism development in Hawaii. Many of the major resorts have been built on culturally significant sites. Construction of
tourist related businesses have played a huge part in the destruction of ancient Hawaiian burial grounds, archaeological historic sites and sacred
places. In fact, on the island of Kauai, a well–known ancient Hawaiian burial ground was excavated to make room for a huge condominium
resort project. Out of 22 acres of sacred burial grounds, only a one acre parcel was left, and human remains were displaced and moved to make
room for the project. This was devastating to the native Hawaiians who had loved ones buried there for centuries, but seemed to be insignificant to
the tourism industry that seemed only to be worried about their new project and making money. Hundreds of other cultural and historic sites have
been bulldozed to make way for hotels and golf course developments without regard for the environmental effects of their actions. In addition to
disrupting the environment with huge new buildings, many other sites such as ancient temples, house sites, fishing shrines, ceremonial platforms
and agricultural have been turned into tourist attractions and have been misused, abused and disrespected by tourism. This is

Descriptive Essay About Hawaii
Underwater, I can't breath, I can't see, my lungs are burning. Welcome to Hawaii, one of the most desired vacation spots. Everything is
gorgeous, the weather is perfect, the landscape is spectacular, and the Ocean is breathtaking, especially in the inside. Under the sea, which is
supposedly the best according to Sebastian. He could not be more wrong, at least in my case. Unless the top sight everyone is dying to see is
sand shooting at speeds that would get it a ticket or the beautiful salt water that is forcing itself into both eyes. How did I get to this point,
struggling to survive, hoping the Ocean gets tired of me so I can take a breath and pray that it has enough mercy to leave me where I have the

Everything was great until the one fateful wave. That wave, that one wave, the one that changed everything. My feet are swept from under me.
Swirling around under the waves that were just caressing my body meekly a few seconds ago. I am powerless to the strength of the ocean.
This was beginning to be a Hawaiian roller coaster that I definitely did not want to ride anymore. I am shot back to the reality of where I was.
The sand that was so smooth and friendly before was now my worst enemy. It is everywhere, on my face, scraping my body against the rough
floor of the sea. I felt the different waves pulling me in different directions like two dogs playing tug–of–war, eventually the bigger dog won and I
am being catapulted out to sea. A sharp seashell threw itself at me in the midst of the chaos, like those kids that only do something because
everyone else is. Wasn't I just like that? That was the whole reason I was in this situation in the first place. Thoughts of earlier in the hot tub
suddenly popped into my mind. Me and some of my other siblings were messing around in the pool, going underwater and using my ever
prepared sister, Brittany's stopwatch to see who could stay under the longest. I could only hold my breath for thirty seconds. What if the water
held me hostage longer than that? What if this was truly the end. How ironic, I

Descriptive Essay About Hawaii
Hawaii Ahhhhh. I looked at the laughing faces, broad smiles, and love that last a lifetime. I could taste the salty air drop in my mouth and the
color of the sea was as blue and vibrant as a blueberry. I can't remember another time that I was happier. The laughs seemed endless, just like
the swaying ocean. Me and my sisters stopped fighting, I finally stopped complaining, and all was finally good. I felt happy and bright, and I
know that I don't have to worry about my school work or my next gymnastics meet. Life was perfect in Hawaii. When I am mad I know I can
think of this vacation to look back on and I can remember how my family was brought closer together and how the SIX HOUR plane ride was
definitely worth it. When we got in the hotel room it was super small with bunk beds on both sides and a small bathroom and closet. I wasn't
at all excited to share a room with not one, but both of ,my sisters. But then my mom says that we should go at the top and explore the pool
and everything. So, me and my sisters went exploring. I climbed to the top like an orangutan. I finally got to front of the boat where I found
an amazing sunset that was calling my name. I call my sisters up and they climb up. We stood in front of each other as if we were on the
Titanic. It was amazing with the breeze and the sunset and all of our worries floated away behind us. I knew this vacation was going to be

My Cultural Identity : Hawaii Essay
When I think about the culture I come from, I immediately think about my Japanese and Filipino lineage. I also think about Hawaii, and how
growing up there has shaped me today. This are only parts of the equation to my cultural identity. No matter what nationality or country you grow
up in, each person is exposed to different ideals that mix in with their background culture. I would like to look at my cultural identity by looking
at some traditions in Hawaii, the organizations I've been a part of, and my own unique personal identity. Each of these has played a role in
shaping my own cultural identity. Growing up in Hawaii was a unique experience for me that I doubt would. I've always seen Hawaii as the
melting pot between American and Asian cultures. One of the most notable things about Hawaii culture is how laid back the people are. It
common in the Hawaiian culture for people to take life a slower pace and not to stress out about life's responsibilities. However, this laid back
attitude also encourages the Hawaii people to develop a weak uncertainty avoidance. They love taking risks, and they have habits of making
confrontations when it comes to solving problems. While it is not my nature to take unnecessary risks or fight with others, the laid back attitude
of Hawaiian culture has helped me to take on a passive personality. This has its pros and cons, but I think it has helped me to stay calm when
life takes stressful turns. Hawaii also gives a broader sense of the

Hawaii and Tourism
Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean; it is one of the many islands in Polynesia. It is composed of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai,
Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, the island of Hawaii being the largest island of the eight (see attached map).
According to the census bureau, as of 2014, Hawaii 's population is approximately 1,419,561 with Native Hawaiians forming only 10% of the
population; in order to be considered a Native Hawaiian you must have one native great–grandparent (2014 United States Census Bureau).
Hawaii's official languages are English and Hawaiian. Hawaii was first occupied by people coming from the Marquesas Islands approximately
1500 years ago followed by people from Tahiti. In 1778 Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii finding approximately 300,00 Hawaiians there. In the
1850's Hawaiians worked in sugar cane plantations. In 1983 Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and in 1900 Hawaii became a United States
Territory. Fifty–nine years later, in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. Tourism plays a huge role in Hawaii's culture; it is
a big part of its economy and social life. This paper will be discussing Hawaii's tourism and it's effects.

Paving Paradise American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a
beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian
economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall
"cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani–Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order

These are the people that have the money to spend on vacations to Hawaii. These readers have probably visited Hawaii more than once with
their families. Carlton is there to give these vacationers gratification for their lavish weekends by pointing out how much their money truly helps
the state of Hawaii. The Wall Street Journal, probably more than any other American newspaper, supports growth of the American economy as a
whole rather than as an individual state. Not only do Carlton and this newspaper promote American economy, but they also devalue foreign
economy. For example, Carlton explains the previous shortage of Japanese tourism in Hawaii by writing "the basic reason is that the U.S.
economy is stronger than Japan." It is apparent that one of Carlton's objectives is to discourage American tourism of foreign countries in order to
decrease foreign economical growth. The Wall Street Journal and its right–wing audience are actually more concerned with the development of
the American Economy, rather than the development of the single state of Hawaii and its native people's well–being. The presentation of
Carlton's information is straightforward. He gives interesting statistics that include both the ups and downs of the Hawaiian economy. He does not

would also pray at shrines to the more important Gods. To elaborate, the Hawaiians believed that non–living things had spirits and believed in

Essay On Hawaii Annexation
Hawaii's annexation, was it legal and fair to the natives of the island? The proposal that Hawaii reached Statehood by a 'just' manner has been
inaccurate and presents a false interpretation of the facts. Though seized through the era of imperialism, Hawaii remained as one of the few
territories unclaimed and consequently was seized swiftly. The eventual statehood of Hawaii was produced with wrongful acts because of
imperial greed. The annexation of Hawaii is an unjust act because of the circumstances surrounding the illegal annexation, clear wishes of the
natives, and unlawful gain of territory.
The circumstances surrounding the annexation of Hawaii are often left unsaid and remain unknown by citizens of the United States. Hawaii was
first annexed into the United States of America in 1898 after white settlers refused to give up control of the Hawaiian government. However,
previously President Cleveland opposed annexation and retracted the annexation treated proposed to the Senate. Cleveland supported a restoration
of the Hawaiian monarchy and used his administration to oppose annexation. He used James Blount to discover the views of the Hawaiian natives

a country by Joint Resolution, but nevertheless, the appropriate procedures were ignored. These procedures were not met because of the potential

Before going to Hawaii, most of my summer and Christmas vacations were spent traveling to visit family. My dad was in the military, so
when he was given leave, we were always going back to our hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we went to
Georgia to visit our relatives in Augusta. So imagine my surprise when, as a present for doing great in school the previous year, my parents
decided to take me and my sisters to Hawaii for the summer! Once we packed our suitcases and planned our travel itinerary, we were on a plane

Essay About Hawaii

  • 1. Impact of Tourism on Hawaii The Environmental Impact of Tourism on Hawaii and its Natives By: Rylee Blair As skiers, hikers, sightseers, beachgoers and travelers pack their bags and head out for their vacations, they probably never even consider that what they are about to embark upon happens to be the largest industry in the world. Millions of people travel domestically and internationally each year to experience places and things that are totally out of their ordinary lifestyle and to get their minds off the hustle bustle of everyday life. Because of Hawaii's year–round tropical climates, cultural experiences and leisurely atmosphere, it is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations and attracts over 9 million visitors each year. Marine and...show more content... This kind of growth doesn't happen without displacing land, people, animals, etc. Land based resources, people's culture and historical symbols are often the victims of tourism development in Hawaii. Many of the major resorts have been built on culturally significant sites. Construction of tourist related businesses have played a huge part in the destruction of ancient Hawaiian burial grounds, archaeological historic sites and sacred places. In fact, on the island of Kauai, a well–known ancient Hawaiian burial ground was excavated to make room for a huge condominium resort project. Out of 22 acres of sacred burial grounds, only a one acre parcel was left, and human remains were displaced and moved to make room for the project. This was devastating to the native Hawaiians who had loved ones buried there for centuries, but seemed to be insignificant to the tourism industry that seemed only to be worried about their new project and making money. Hundreds of other cultural and historic sites have been bulldozed to make way for hotels and golf course developments without regard for the environmental effects of their actions. In addition to disrupting the environment with huge new buildings, many other sites such as ancient temples, house sites, fishing shrines, ceremonial platforms and agricultural have been turned into tourist attractions and have been misused, abused and disrespected by tourism.

  • 2. Descriptive Essay About Hawaii Underwater, I can't breath, I can't see, my lungs are burning. Welcome to Hawaii, one of the most desired vacation spots. Everything is gorgeous, the weather is perfect, the landscape is spectacular, and the Ocean is breathtaking, especially in the inside. Under the sea, which is supposedly the best according to Sebastian. He could not be more wrong, at least in my case. Unless the top sight everyone is dying to see is sand shooting at speeds that would get it a ticket or the beautiful salt water that is forcing itself into both eyes. How did I get to this point, struggling to survive, hoping the Ocean gets tired of me so I can take a breath and pray that it has enough mercy to leave me where I have the strength to swim to shore where my...show more content... Everything was great until the one fateful wave. That wave, that one wave, the one that changed everything. My feet are swept from under me. Swirling around under the waves that were just caressing my body meekly a few seconds ago. I am powerless to the strength of the ocean. This was beginning to be a Hawaiian roller coaster that I definitely did not want to ride anymore. I am shot back to the reality of where I was. The sand that was so smooth and friendly before was now my worst enemy. It is everywhere, on my face, scraping my body against the rough floor of the sea. I felt the different waves pulling me in different directions like two dogs playing tug–of–war, eventually the bigger dog won and I am being catapulted out to sea. A sharp seashell threw itself at me in the midst of the chaos, like those kids that only do something because everyone else is. Wasn't I just like that? That was the whole reason I was in this situation in the first place. Thoughts of earlier in the hot tub suddenly popped into my mind. Me and some of my other siblings were messing around in the pool, going underwater and using my ever prepared sister, Brittany's stopwatch to see who could stay under the longest. I could only hold my breath for thirty seconds. What if the water held me hostage longer than that? What if this was truly the end. How ironic, I Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Descriptive Essay About Hawaii Hawaii Ahhhhh. I looked at the laughing faces, broad smiles, and love that last a lifetime. I could taste the salty air drop in my mouth and the color of the sea was as blue and vibrant as a blueberry. I can't remember another time that I was happier. The laughs seemed endless, just like the swaying ocean. Me and my sisters stopped fighting, I finally stopped complaining, and all was finally good. I felt happy and bright, and I know that I don't have to worry about my school work or my next gymnastics meet. Life was perfect in Hawaii. When I am mad I know I can think of this vacation to look back on and I can remember how my family was brought closer together and how the SIX HOUR plane ride was definitely worth it. When we got in the hotel room it was super small with bunk beds on both sides and a small bathroom and closet. I wasn't at all excited to share a room with not one, but both of ,my sisters. But then my mom says that we should go at the top and explore the pool and everything. So, me and my sisters went exploring. I climbed to the top like an orangutan. I finally got to front of the boat where I found an amazing sunset that was calling my name. I call my sisters up and they climb up. We stood in front of each other as if we were on the Titanic. It was amazing with the breeze and the sunset and all of our worries floated away behind us. I knew this vacation was going to be amazing. We already Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 6. My Cultural Identity : Hawaii Essay When I think about the culture I come from, I immediately think about my Japanese and Filipino lineage. I also think about Hawaii, and how growing up there has shaped me today. This are only parts of the equation to my cultural identity. No matter what nationality or country you grow up in, each person is exposed to different ideals that mix in with their background culture. I would like to look at my cultural identity by looking at some traditions in Hawaii, the organizations I've been a part of, and my own unique personal identity. Each of these has played a role in shaping my own cultural identity. Growing up in Hawaii was a unique experience for me that I doubt would. I've always seen Hawaii as the melting pot between American and Asian cultures. One of the most notable things about Hawaii culture is how laid back the people are. It common in the Hawaiian culture for people to take life a slower pace and not to stress out about life's responsibilities. However, this laid back attitude also encourages the Hawaii people to develop a weak uncertainty avoidance. They love taking risks, and they have habits of making confrontations when it comes to solving problems. While it is not my nature to take unnecessary risks or fight with others, the laid back attitude of Hawaiian culture has helped me to take on a passive personality. This has its pros and cons, but I think it has helped me to stay calm when life takes stressful turns. Hawaii also gives a broader sense of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Hawaii And Tourism : Hawaii Hawaii and Tourism Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean; it is one of the many islands in Polynesia. It is composed of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, the island of Hawaii being the largest island of the eight (see attached map). According to the census bureau, as of 2014, Hawaii 's population is approximately 1,419,561 with Native Hawaiians forming only 10% of the population; in order to be considered a Native Hawaiian you must have one native great–grandparent (2014 United States Census Bureau). Hawaii's official languages are English and Hawaiian. Hawaii was first occupied by people coming from the Marquesas Islands approximately 1500 years ago followed by people from Tahiti. In 1778 Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii finding approximately 300,00 Hawaiians there. In the 1850's Hawaiians worked in sugar cane plantations. In 1983 Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and in 1900 Hawaii became a United States Territory. Fifty–nine years later, in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. Tourism plays a huge role in Hawaii's culture; it is a big part of its economy and social life. This paper will be discussing Hawaii's tourism and it's effects.

  • 8. Essay about Tourism in Hawaii Paving Paradise American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall "cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani–Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order to persuade her readers into believing that tourism can actually be a bad thing for an economy. On the other hand, in his article "Surf's Up for the Economy in Hawaii," Jim...show more content... These are the people that have the money to spend on vacations to Hawaii. These readers have probably visited Hawaii more than once with their families. Carlton is there to give these vacationers gratification for their lavish weekends by pointing out how much their money truly helps the state of Hawaii. The Wall Street Journal, probably more than any other American newspaper, supports growth of the American economy as a whole rather than as an individual state. Not only do Carlton and this newspaper promote American economy, but they also devalue foreign economy. For example, Carlton explains the previous shortage of Japanese tourism in Hawaii by writing "the basic reason is that the U.S. economy is stronger than Japan." It is apparent that one of Carlton's objectives is to discourage American tourism of foreign countries in order to decrease foreign economical growth. The Wall Street Journal and its right–wing audience are actually more concerned with the development of the American Economy, rather than the development of the single state of Hawaii and its native people's well–being. The presentation of Carlton's information is straightforward. He gives interesting statistics that include both the ups and downs of the Hawaiian economy. He does not deny that Hawaii has not always had the luster that it has today. His representation of both sides of the Hawaiian economy allows his writing to seem Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In Hawaiian mythology, there is a story involving Ka–Moho–Ali'i stating that he swam in the area of the islands of Maui and Kahoolawe. When a ship was once lost at sea, Ka–Moho–Ali'i would shake his tail in front of the fleet. The kahuna (sorcerer, magician etc....) would feed him kava.

  • 12. Essay On Hawaii Annexation Hawaii's annexation, was it legal and fair to the natives of the island? The proposal that Hawaii reached Statehood by a 'just' manner has been inaccurate and presents a false interpretation of the facts. Though seized through the era of imperialism, Hawaii remained as one of the few territories unclaimed and consequently was seized swiftly. The eventual statehood of Hawaii was produced with wrongful acts because of imperial greed. The annexation of Hawaii is an unjust act because of the circumstances surrounding the illegal annexation, clear wishes of the natives, and unlawful gain of territory. The circumstances surrounding the annexation of Hawaii are often left unsaid and remain unknown by citizens of the United States. Hawaii was first annexed into the United States of America in 1898 after white settlers refused to give up control of the Hawaiian government. However, previously President Cleveland opposed annexation and retracted the annexation treated proposed to the Senate. Cleveland supported a restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy and used his administration to oppose annexation.

High tensions and treaties failing, the U.S. sought to use Hawaii as a strategic gain on Spanish, by creating a strong military base in the Pacific. "Advocates argued that Hawaii was needed to support American soldiers in the Philippines"(Moss 18). It is required for the people of the native land to consent to being annexed into a country by Joint Resolution, but nevertheless, the appropriate procedures were ignored. These procedures were not met because of the potential economic, strategic, and imperial gain.

  • 13. Trip To Hawaii Essay Before going to Hawaii, most of my summer and Christmas vacations were spent traveling to visit family. My dad was in the military, so when he was given leave, we were always going back to our hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we went to Georgia to visit our relatives in Augusta. So imagine my surprise when, as a present for doing great in school the previous year, my parents decided to take me and my sisters to Hawaii for the summer! Once we packed our suitcases and planned our travel itinerary, we were on a plane and headed from Texas, where we lived, to Hawaii. I'm sure the process was a bit more complicated than that, but I was only 13 years old and didn't realize that at the time. Before I get into our final destination, let me provide a quick description of where we were going. The state of Hawaii is not just one island. Hawaii is actually made up of eight major islands: Hawaii (or the Big Island), Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Niihau, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe.
