Country Vacations & Resorts

If Native Hawaiians are concerned about tourism distorting their culture, they can’t be happy about the push for legalized gambling currently gaining momentum.

I can’t think of much worse that will contribute to the very thing Native Islanders are most concerned about. Waikiki is so over-developed and commercialized now, adding gambling will just convert it permanently into a “strip” mentality.

The Coalition against legalized gambling will have to fight very hard to stop the cash-strapped politicians and special interests from pushing this through. Greed usually rules and the islands will not benefit, culturally, from this new money-making idea.
