Market Update
Empty resorts, rental cars parked in open fields and uncrowded beaches have been the reality for Maui over the last 5 months. That being said, many Maui residents have been eagerly awaiting the start of Hawaii's pre-travel testing program, which signifies a huge step forward for normalizing the tourism industry and revitalizing the economy.
In a press release earlier this week, Governor David Ige announced that the pre-travel testing program will officially begin on October 15th. This is still a two week delay from the original date of October 1st, and two month delay from when the program was set to first launch, but many Hawaii residents are still seeing this as significant forward progress.
The pre-travel testing program involves multiple layers of testing and screening working in unison to detect anyone with a fever before they even leave the airport. If a traveler is able to obtain a negative COVID-19 test no earlier than 72 hours before flying then they will be able to forgo the 14-day mandatory quarantine. The vendors currently administering the test are CVS and Kaiser Permanente. Travelers are responsible for the cost of their own test which can range from $100 - $140 for a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). Lt. Governor Josh Green who is spearheading the pre-travel testing program said that arriving passengers can wait for their test results here in Hawaii, but they must remain in quarantine while doing so.

P.S. Hawaii is an expensive place to live, and since this pandemic began, unemployment and financial turmoil have been rampant throughout the state. For islands like Maui, which are almost completely dependent on tourism this pandemic has struck especially hard. There is a silver lining however, in the form of a new federally funded rental assistance program.
Those eligible include Hawaii renters who are unemployed or partially unemployed due to the pandemic and have a household income at or below 100% of area median income. On Maui the area median income for a family of 4 is $102,500. Renters will not be receiving the payment themselves, rather their landlords will be receiving the payment on their behalf. On Maui that payment could cover up to $1,500 in monthly rent.
If you or anyone you know could benefit from this program, please follow this link.
