Maui is bleeding in many ways, and we have some important requests of our visitors:
• Visiting Maui Soon?
If you have plans to come in the next few weeks or soon, please postpone your trip. That being said, do not cancel it. Maui businesses will need your support more than ever, and the majority of the island is still great to visit. Priority needs to go to rooms, food, & supplies for the displaced.

DO NOT DRIVE TO LAHAINA! Have respect for the victims and their families. You’re not welcome right now. The only people that should be heading to Lahaina are emergency personnel, organized volunteers, and residents that need to be either reunited with loved ones or checking on their homes/businesses.
AirBnB, VRBO Owner?
• Let your guests change the date for another time. Then use the units to house the displaced temporarily. We still have thousands in shelters… Don’t be greedy. Show that you have Aloha and belong here as business owners!
Have reservations at a large hotel or resort?
• If they aren’t housing the displaced, GIVE THEM HELL! Most of these mega-resorts are owned by giant mainland corporations, and they don’t feel the Aloha quite the same way we do. Let them know their responsibility!
• Want to help?
