\"sustainable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tourists to\u00a0Hawai\u02bbi\u00a0from the continental U.S. are willing to pay more for locally-sourced foods while on vacation in the islands to help the state become a more sustainable tourism destination, according to a new\u00a0study in the\u00a0Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights<\/em><\/a>, co-authored by University of\u00a0Hawai\u02bbi\u00a0at M\u0101noa experts.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than 78% of the survey\u2019s 454 respondents said they would be willing to pay a premium or higher price for locally-grown food. Of that, about 40% said they are willing to pay up to 5% more, 23% are willing to pay between 6\u201310% more, 16% are willing to pay 11\u201315% more and 10% are willing to pay 16\u201325% more for locally-sourced food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe results of this study provided quantitative evidence that U.S. tourists are interested in purchasing locally grown food items in Hawai\u02bbi, in addition to their willingness to pay an additional fee for these locally-grown food products at a restaurant or a hotel dining room, to help Hawai\u02bbi maintain its long-term tourism viability. These findings address a major gap in current tourism research,\u201d said Jerry Agrusa<\/strong>, study co-author and UH M\u0101noa School of Travel Industry Management<\/a> (TIM) professor in the Shidler College of Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism policy implications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hawai\u02bbi welcomed more than 10 million visitors to the state in 2019<\/a>, the most recent year unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, up to 90% of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s food is imported<\/a> and shipping all the food to the islands creates a major carbon footprint. According to experts, making adjustments to Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s food supply is an opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint and become a more sustainable destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers hope that the results from the study will help tourism leaders explore whether there are opportunities to better integrate sustainable food consumption and production into the tourist experience. While tourists from the continental U.S. remain the top market for\u00a0Hawai\u02bbi, the study noted that future research should focus on the international tourist markets, which may have different social norms or cultural differences, providing a broader spectrum of the current study\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
