Hawaii Visitor spending, arrivals break records for July
| Posted on August 27, 2014 at 6:14 PM |
11:52 AM HST Aug 27, 2014 HONOLULU —Total
expenditures by visitors who came to Hawai'i in July 2014 rose 2.6
percent from the same month last year to $1.4 billion, according to
preliminary statistics released Wednesday by the Hawai'i Tourism
Authority. While total arrivals grew 2.5 percent to 772,106 visitors, a shorter
average length of stay (-3 percent to 9.12 days) resulted in flat growth
in visitor days (-0.6 percent). Average daily spending was higher for
most visitor markets compared to July 2013. In July 2014, arrivals
by air increased 2.4 percent to 771,244 visitors and one cruise ship
visited Hawai'i with 863 visitors (+80 percent). "Last month was
the highest July on record for our state in both visitor spending (+2.6
percent to $1.35 billion) and arrivals (+2.5 percent to 772,106)," said
HTA President and CEO Mike McCartney. "Year-to-date, we continue to
pace ahead of the record-breaking year for our tourism economy in 2013,
with nearly $212 million more in visitor expenditures and $23 million in
additional tax revenue to the state in comparison to the same period
last year." Arrivals by air from U.S. West rose 5.1 percent to
327,325 visitors in July 2014, the first increase after 11 months of
declines. Increased daily spending (+4.5 percent to $155 per person)
also contributed to a 7.4 percent growth in U.S. West visitor
expenditures to $483.9 million. While U.S. East arrivals of 175,739
visitors declined 1 percent from July 2013, higher daily spending (+5.6
percent to $207 per person) led to a 4.2 percent gain in visitor
expenditures to $380.1 million. "While we initially projected a
slight decline in air seats from North America, we have seen a slight
growth with Delta Air Lines adding additional flights and Hawaiian
Airlines redeploying aircrafts that were previously used for
international routes," said McCartney. "Our focus will be to ensure
there is sufficient demand to sustain this increase in seats from our
core U.S. market." Expenditures by Japanese visitors rose 3.1
percent to $205.7 million in July 2014, bolstered by growth in arrivals
(+1.6 percent to 131,229 visitors) and increased daily spending (+7
percent to $268 per person). During their low season, Canadian
visitors spent a total of $44.6 million, down 16 percent from July
2013. Canadian arrivals dropped 7.4 percent to 27,790 visitors.
Arrivals from All Other markets totaled 112,162 visitors (+3.9 percent)
with combined expenditures of $238.2 million (-5.1 percent). Among
the four larger Hawaiian Islands, arrivals grew on Kaua'i (+3.1
percent), Hawai'i Island (+3 percent) and O'ahu (+1.5 percent), while
Maui remained stable (+0.2 percent) compared to July 2013. Visitor
expenditures increased on Maui (+8.2 percent), Kaua'i (+5 percent) and
Hawai'i Island (+1.7 percent) while visitors expenditures on O'ahu were
unchanged. However, this month, visitors stayed a shorter period of
time on each island compared to July 2013. "We continue to monitor
travel trends for the state, including adjustments in visitor spending
and length of stay to accommodate vacation costs and budgets. With
visitor expenditures up on the neighbor islands, with an exception to
Lana'i, we are pleased that our collective efforts to increase visitor
distribution across the state continue to result in increased dollars
and other economic benefits to the neighbor islands," said McCartney. Air
capacity to Hawai'i was up 3.7 percent to 1,032,625 total air seats in
July 2014. Scheduled seats from Canada (+21.2 percent), Other Asia
(+17.1 percent), Oceania (+8 percent), U.S. West (+6 percent) and U.S.
East (+4.2 percent) increased, offsetting fewer seats from Japan (-5
percent). |
