Visitors to Hawaii spent 26.6% less in 2021 compared with 2019, according to a report from the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT).
About $13 billion was spent by tourists in 2021, compared with $17.7 billion in 2019. Comparisons with 2020 are not available since the state allowed visitors from only the U.S. for most of the year.
