Hawaii's tourism attractions has been making a lot of money for our state, however, all attractions had been covering up a lot of the natural beauty of our islands and it's culture. I know I love going to the beach, and climbing up moutains to see the scenery. But sometimes I just see buildings. What's said to be some magical island get away, Hawaii isn't that different from the mainland. In fact, we're getting worse. So what we need to do now is make sure we keep a limit to the attractions that hides our islands true self.
Obviously, the most popular tourist attraction is the gorgeous beaches. Now days, it's getting over crowded where nobody can relax. For example, Waikiki beach is getting amazingly crowded. Ninety-Five percent of locals say that they prefer beaches that are peaceful, without the commotion. Also, with all these tourists on the beach, a bunch of trash is always left behind. Not everyone is responsible. Furthermore, with all these attractions on the beach, some tourists forget about the true beauty of the beaches here. There are bunches of posters and stands advertisements, most people get distracted.
Secondly, when attracting more and more people to Hawaii, it's going to be hard for us to make a living. When there's more and more people living in one area, there won't be that much space left and to find a property space will be expensive. Another thing is that prices of the simple things at the stores will rise. With all these new people, most items will be wanted more so stores need to import costing us a little more money. Even though it's only a little bit of extra money, the price will add up to great amounts.
Lastly, most tourist don't know whats traditional in Hawaii and what's not. Well, there's different hula interpretations. Some people see posters of people dancing in grass skirts and it they think its only hawaiian. Truth is, it can be most of the Polynesians who dance and dress similar. Each way is still different though. Also, our music has been expressed moderately and different. For example, hula is now using more upbeat music. Traditional hula will mainly use ipu's. The ukulele didn't even originate from Hawaii. Now days people think the ukulele is all Hawaiian when really its not. Locals sometimes get offended by this.
In conclusion, all these tourist attractions are covering who Hawaii really is. We should try keep traditions going and limit all the attractions. Hawaii just isn't the same without the culture and scenery.
