Hawaii plans to jack up hotel tax to 11% in first-of-its-kind move to pay for projects to cope with climate change

State leaders say they'll use the funds for projects like replenishing sand on eroding beaches, and removing invasive grasses like those that fueled the deadly wildfire that destroyed Lahaina two years ago.

Hawaii plans to jack up hotel tax to 11% in first-of-its-kind move to pay for projects to cope with climate change

State leaders say they'll use the funds for projects like replenishing sand on eroding beaches, and removing invasive grasses like those that fueled the deadly wildfire that destroyed Lahaina two years ago.
The article from Fortune, published on April 30, 2025, discusses Hawaii's decision to increase its hotel tax to 11% to fund projects aimed at combating climate change. The tax hike, which was approved by the state legislature, is expected to generate significant revenue to support initiatives such as beach restoration, flood prevention, and the development of sustainable infrastructure. The move comes as Hawaii faces increasing threats from rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events, prompting the need for immediate action to protect the state's tourism-dependent economy and natural resources. While the increase has been met with some resistance from the hospitality industry, it is seen as a necessary step to ensure the long-term sustainability of Hawaii's environment and economy.
