Kauaʻi Considers Charging Tourists for Parking at Beaches

(AP) — Officials want to study parking lots at crowded beach parks on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and explore the possibility of imposing fees on tourists’ vehicles. The Garden Island reported that Kauai has allocated $30,000 of the county’s federal coronavirus relief money money to study the issue. Now that pandemic-related travel restrictions are easing, tourism numbers are bouncing back. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, there were more than 32,000 people who flew to Hawaii one day last week, with over 2,500 of them going to Kauai.
