AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Short-Term Rentals: Hawaiʻi Airbnb hosts lead the nation, averaging $64,721 in annual revenue, according to a new study. Kahuku listings averaged about $149,000, though experts warn rentals bring their own challenges. State Operations: Hawaiʻi has replaced its decades-old financial system with a new platform, a major upgrade for government administration. Retail and Jobs: VOLCANO eCigs plans to close all Hawaiʻi locations by year-end, citing new laws; meanwhile, Alaska Air is cutting 46 Hawaiʻi positions, with eight workers offered other roles. Technology and Investment: A Honolulu summit focused on building an AI-ready workforce, while a separate report says some Japanese investment is returning to Hawaiʻi. Business Costs: Hawaiʻi retail occupancy costs remain higher than mainland equivalents, adding pressure for local businesses.
