    Hawaii was important to the United States for its military potential, as well as many economic reasons such as its rich agrarian industry. Without Hawaii, the United States would have had to negotiate more for navy bases from which it could launch aquatic assaults on the Axis Powers and Japan. This significantly increased our participation in World War II, while decreasing our debt to other nations for allowing us to use their ports. The first settlers of the islands were probably Polynesians from Tahiti.…

    Beautiful beaches, tropical fruits, amazing volcanoes and an aesthetic view, that description makes many people think of the beautiful Hawaii. What some people don’t know is the history of how Hawaii became a part of the USA. Hawaii was annexed by having to overthrow its leader, and by destroying its government. “In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection” (ushistory.org). Many people debate on the justification of this action. They believe it was an injustice to Hawaii and its people, but really it was a justified action. It was justified because this act brought a lot of profit for America, it was imperialism (social darwinism), and if America had not annexed Hawaii another country most likely would have. The annexation of Hawaii was a justified action by the American Government.…

    With 4.8 million tourists visiting the island in 2005, you can only imagine the wealth of entertainment options. Restaurants are well known, the shopping is luxurious, and bars and clubs can be found on every block – Oahu is a city booming with energy and excitement. Tourists aren't the only ones on the island. 71% of Hawaii's total population lives there. That's 899,593 people! Kauai, on the other hand, is referred to as the honeymooner's island. The vibe is much calmer with only 1.1 million tourists visiting this island in 2005. Its tone is much more relaxing than that of Oahu. Most restaurants are locally owned, the shopping is quaint, and there isn't much of a night life; Unless you consider stargazing a "night on the town". Kauai is the least populous of the major islands, which might attribute to its small town…

    As skiers, hikers, sightseers, beachgoers and travelers pack their bags and head out for their vacations, they probably never even consider that what they are about to embark upon happens to be the largest industry in the world. Millions of people travel domestically and internationally each year to experience places and things that are totally out of their ordinary lifestyle and to get their minds off the hustle bustle of everyday life. Because of Hawaii’s year-round tropical climates, cultural experiences and leisurely atmosphere, it is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations and attracts over 9 million visitors each year. Marine and coastal tourism is also one of the fastest growing areas within the tourism industry, which makes Hawaii an even more popular destination. Hawaii is comprised of eight major islands, but only six are typically known for being regular tourist destinations. Known as the “Paradise of the Pacific,” the landscape of Hawaii consists of beautiful sandy beaches, majestic mountains, large stretches of lava beds, breathtaking cliffs and canyons, lush rainforests and much more. In the past, tourists visiting Hawaii were happy to sit on the beach with a tropical drink while getting a suntan; however, tourists today expect more when they travel, and they want a more authentic and cultural experience. As I’m sure you can imagine with millions of visitors each year, tourism is a major contributor to the Hawaiian economy. Tourism related businesses generated almost $14 billion dollars to the Hawaiian economy in 2012. Since Hawaii is a remote destination, virtually everybody and everything on the island is interconnected and is affected by the tourism industry. It would seem that the residents of Hawaii would embrace the tourism industry for obvious reasons; however, many native Hawaiians do not feel that the tourism industry contributes to or betters…
