Hawaii businesses, still struggling with no tourism rebound, expect long road to recovery (File) (Source: Hawaii News Now) By HNN Staff | February 2, 2021 at 2:21 PM HST - Updated February 2 at 2:21 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A new Chamber of Commerce survey of more than 300 Hawaii businesses found that more than two-thirds continue to see severe revenue downturns.
The lack of a tourism rebound was found to be the biggest factor in businesses continuing to struggle.
The survey, conducted by Omnitrak, Central Pacific Bank Foundation and the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce Foundation, also found that about 45% of local businesses have laid off employees.

Last year, members of the Hawaii Executive Collaborative brainstormed ways to boost the local economy in the absence of tourism. One member, Jason Higa, CEO of Zippy’s Restaurants parent company, FCH Enterprises, presented an idea to attract kamaʻāina living aboard, and others, to work from home in Hawaii for as long as entire industries are working from home through the pandemic.
The idea quickly evolved into a program called Movers & Shakas to incentivize 50 mobile and connected tech workers to move here, with the expectation that they’ll give back to the Islands in some way.
The selected group of 50 people will receive free airfare and deep discounts at hotels in exchange for sharing their time and expertise with the community and local nonprofit organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii, Girl Scouts of Hawaii, Hawaii Literacy and Kupu or with local organizations supporting entrepreneurship.
