Aloha Valued Homeowner, I have some big news to share. Governor David Ige today announced that the state’s Safe Travels Hawaii program will end on March 25, 2022. This means that visitors and returning residents will no longer be required to provide vaccination status or proof of a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival in Hawaii. Masks will continue to be required for indoor workplaces and airports throughout the state. This announcement comes on the heels of all counties throughout the state lifting their last remaining COVID-19 restrictions, which ranged from limiting gathering sizes to requiring proof of vaccination for entry to certain restaurants, gyms and other establishments. Already, we are seeing promising signs when it comes for demand for travel to the islands. We anticipate that these changes will only bolster the numbers moving forward. It’s been a long ride with a number of speed bumps along the way and we thank you for your continued support. We’re excited about what the future holds. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Stay safe and healthy, Alan ________________________________ Alan R.

For Immediate Release: March 1, 2022 HTA Release (22-07) HAWAII’S SAFE TRAVELS PROGRAM SET TO END ON MARCH 25 HONOLULU – Governor David Ige announced today that Hawaii’s Safe Travels program for domestic travelers will come to a close on Friday, March 25, 2022. Beginning Saturday, March 26, 2022, individuals arriving from the continental United States will not be required to create a Safe Travels account, show their COVID-19 vaccination status, or take a pre-travel test when traveling to the Hawaiian Islands. “Safe Travels is one part of a multi-layer approach to COVID safety. The program played a key role in keeping Hawaii’s residents safe before vaccinations were widely available, and during the surges we’ve seen through this pandemic,” said John De Fries, Hawaii Tourism Authority President and CEO. “Bringing the Safe Travels program to a close reflects the progress we have made as a state, and Governor Ige’s decision is a good balance of maintaining reasonable health precautions while reopening our society and economy.” Passengers arriving to Hawaii on direct international flights must still adhere to federal U.S. entry requirements, which include showing proof of an up-to-date vaccination document and negative pre-travel COVID-19 test result taken within one day of travel. For more information, visit www.hawaiicovid19.com/travel. “The Safe Travels program was an immense undertaking that would not have been possible without the collaboration and support of our fellow government agencies and numerous visitor industry partners who worked tirelessly to serve our communities in this effort, from the dissemination of travel requirements globally, to testing and screening, the call center response and check-ins with quarantined individuals, and the airlines which stepped up to pre-clear their passengers at the point of departure,” De Fries said. “We would like to especially thank the hundreds of kamaaina who worked as Safe Travels screeners, patiently working with travelers to ensure their compliance with our health measures.” Hawaii’s statewide indoor mask mandate remains in place until further notice. On the county level, the County of Kauai, County of Maui, and County of Hawaii have repealed their COVID-19 Emergency Rules. The City and County of Honolulu’s Safe Access Oahu program will end on Sunday, March 6, 2022. De Fries added, “The recovery of Hawaii’s travel market and economy will be a gradual process, and HTA will continue to work diligently to educate visitors about the responsibility that they share with our residents to malama (care for) our home.” ### PRINT RELEASE About the Hawaii Tourism Authority The Hawaii Tourism Authority is the State of Hawaii agency responsible for strategically managing its support of the tourism industry.
