Hawaiian Vacations Could Get Much Cheaper in 2024
24.10.2023 - 20:17 / travelpulse.com / Bora Bora / Rich Thomaselli
A variety of factors could mean a reduction in cost next year to vacation in the Hawaiian Islands.
It could be cheaper after more than two years of sky-high prices for everything from airfares to lodging. For better or worse, the main reason for that is a case of economics and supply and demand.
Hawaii is a state that is dependent on tourism dollars. But there will come a time—and expert say it’s more sooner than later—when prices have to drop in order to sustain that symbiotic relationship.
The devastating wildfires in Maui in August have greatly contributed to the state falling below its visitor count for the year. Also, tourism to other tropical locales, such as Bora Bora, have seen a significant decrease in price and has forced Hawaii to keep pace in order to attract tourists.
Experts say demand and cost will soon come into better alignment in Hawaii, making it far more affordable to visit. As costs come down in other places, experts and travel advisors believe that Hawaii will be more price competitive.
But a lot of those visitors will not be coming from New Zealand. At least not on Hawaiian Airlines. And, at least not during the time between April and November.
Hawaiian Airlines will briefly suspend its three times a week flight between Auckland and Honolulu. The last flight will depart Honolulu on April 1 and resume again in November 2024.
Not only do New Zealanders like to vacation in Hawaii, but they use Honolulu and Hawaiian Airlines as a jumping off point to reach the United States.
