Hawaii, suffering tourism drop, appeals to Obama - Los Angeles Times: "Hawaii has suffered one of the worst winters for tourism in recent years and has appealed to the state's most famous native son -- President Obama -- to help turn its fortunes around.
Hotel occupancy rates in the winter were the lowest in at least five years, and in February -- traditionally the state's busiest month -- the rate dropped to 75%. That was the lowest level since 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, when it fell to 69.7%, according to Smith Travel Research."

No surprise here. Vegas is hurting, too. Fewer people have the money to spend on a vacation.
