Hawaii’s hotel occupancy slides in February

The economic slump hasn’t spared Hawaii’s tourism industry. One look around the island and you get the sense that it’s just a little less busy than normal. The traffic is less, the beach parking lots are not packed, the hotels aren’t busting at the seams and yes, the average room rate has dropped by on average 12 %.

That means, there are great deals to be had all over the place. Some hotels like the Kea Lani and the Grand Wailea (both on the south side) run promotions with prices that haven’t been that low since 9/11.

The Grand has deals like: $100 off a night with 7th night free. They’ve also got other specials available. Check them out here: http://www.grandwailea.com/accommodations/specials.aspx

The Fairmont KeaLani also has specials, like an “Aloha Savers 30% Off” deal as well as 2 nights for free if you stay 7 days. Find those deals here: www.fairmont.com

The Ritz Carlton on the west side is offering every 5th night free as well as breakfasts for 2.

If you are staying in short term vacation rentals or Bed and Breakfasts, there might be room to haggle and negotiated the price down.

FORBES Magazine covered the story on Hawaii’s Tourism slump. This obviously has implications for Maui weddings as well. We here at Live Maui Webcasts for instance have been experiencing a lot more inquiries for our services than ever before. It seems now more than ever, people are not able to make it out the weddings on Maui due to financial cutbacks. By live webcasting their Maui wedding ceremony, wedding couples are bringing their day home.
