There’s lots of fun to be had for a weekend trip to Maui

MAUI, Hawaii (KHON2) — Since Aug. 8, the world has watched as Maui struggles to move forward after devastating wildland fires wreaked havoc on land, resources, people, families, communities, homes, businesses and the economy.

While some locals want to be left in peace to recover, other locals are in need of tourism to sustain the economy.

But the most important issue that has arisen through this is the need for responsible and sustainable tourism.

Educating visitors has become a priority for many state and county agencies while neighbor island residents have also come together to mālama Maui.

With this in mind, KHON2.com has provided a resource for you to know the things that are happening on Maui this weekend. Whether you are a resident of Maui, a local from neighbor islands or a visitor in search of paradise, Maui has lots of fun to offer those who arrive on their shores.

For this resource, we turned to GoHawaii.com, the arm of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority that gives us all the details on what’s happening here in Hawaiʻi.
