pay for paradise,It costs money to repair coral reefs after boats run aground, shielding native forest trees from a killer fungus outbreak and patrolling waters for swimmers harassing dolphins and turtles.Also up for debate is what to charge. a $50 fee to enter the state.
Legislators think this would violate U.S. constitutional protections for free travel and have promoted their parks and trails approach instead. However, it wouldn’t be unique to other tourist sites around the globe.The Pacific island nation of Palau, for example, charges arriving international passengers $100 to help it manage a sprawling marine sanctuary and promote ecotourism.
Lawmakers are discussing that they could require tourists to pay a yearlong pass to visit state parks and trails.State Rep. Sean Quinlan, a Democrat who chairs the House Tourism Committee, said changing traveler patterns are one reason behind Hawaii’s push. He said golf rounds per visitor per day have declined 30% over the past decade while hiking has increased 50%. Residents with a Hawaii driver’s license or other state identification would be exempt.
