Mayor's Cruise Ship Task Force - Island of Maui
Final Report: August 15, 2005
|
The great increase in the number of cruise ships visiting Maui between the
mid-nineties when the first cruise ship arrived in Lahaina Harbor to 2003
when over 230,000 cruise visitors arrived on Maui prompted Mayor Alan
Arakawa to appoint a Task Force of community members to assess the
impacts and benefits of cruise ships on the island Maui.
This report is offered as an informal introduction to the cruise ship industry
on Maui and its broad implications for our community. As such, it is meant
as a starting point for further study and discussion that will inform our
decision making about the future of this industry on Maui.
