If you currently want to vacation in Hawaii, you have to go into quarantine for 14 days because of the corona pandemic. The US island actually wanted to open its borders to tourists on August 1. This should be made possible by a system in which a corona test was carried out 72 hours before the start of the trip and would have to be negative in order to be allowed to enter.
Since the procedure is not ready in time for the planned opening of the border, the government has postponed the start date to September 1. Until then, those responsible hope that everything will work as intended. In the meantime, however, so-called “resort bubbles” could still lure beach vacationers to Hawaii, Maui and Kauai.
Hawaii only wants to allow tourists to vacation in zones
The plan: The quarantine continues, but will be extended to certain zones within the resort. That means a vacation on the beach would at least be possible. “The resorts could control where visitors are allowed to go,” said Roy Takemoto, general manager of Hawaii County, on Tuesday.

Cuba planned a similar concept for the opening of the border on July 1st. The goal: to isolate all-inclusive vacationers from the rest of the nation because of the corona pandemic on five islands, but still to boost the economy.
But according to the tourism authority, there are currently more questions than answers to the “resort bubbles” for Hawaii. Because: The project depends on how much space a resort has and that the resort guests do not voluntarily leave the zones. In addition, it must be regulated whether the tourists can use restaurants, shops and swimming pools.
Hawaii’s hotels and resorts have been almost empty since closing in March
Basically, the project would be an opportunity to get tourism going again. After all, most hotels and resorts have had little traffic since the US closed in March, reports “West Hawaii Today“. This warns because of the restrictions that still apply Foreign Office before tourist trips.
