fundamental concept that a visitor is "a stranger for only a day." After the first day, the <br /> malihini becomes a hoa kama`aina or familiar friend and should quickly assume a kuleana <br /> (responsibility) to Hawai`i's people and place. <br /> To achieve the above, we envision a regenerative visitor economy that: <br /> 1. Forms community partnerships to ensure Native Hawaiian cultural integrity by: <br /> a. Supporting Hawai`i's people and communities and their efforts to ma-lama `aina (care <br /> for the land) and the cultural and natural resources of the `aina, oceans, streams, and <br /> skies. <br /> b. Strengthening relationships between people and place, kama`aina and malihini alike. <br /> c. Engaging in collaborative efforts that provide visitors with genuine and meaningful <br /> experiences in Hawai`i. <br /> d. Ensuring that kapu and environmentally sensitive contexts are protected from visitor <br /> traffic. <br /> e. Positioning local business owners and entrepreneurs in the economic value chain to <br /> ensure more meaningful malihini-kama`aina engagement as well as economic benefit <br /> to local communities. <br /> f. Acknowledging and, where appropriate, protecting Hawaiian cultural intellectual <br /> property, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions that contribute to <br /> Hawai`i's economy. <br /> 2. Employs Hawai`i residents and commits to building their capacity and offering them career <br /> ladders to ultimately increase the percentage of Hawai`i residents in management and <br /> leadership positions in the industry. <br /> 3. Applies innovative financial, policy, as well as data collection and analysis mechanisms to <br /> incentivize and facilitate a shift to a regenerative visitor industry that has a smaller <br /> footprint (e.g., decreasing impacts to beaches, reefs, and ocean life) and that aims to sustain <br /> and improve the quality of life for Hawaii residents (e.g., decreasing impacts of vacation <br /> rentals/B&Bs and rental cars). <br /> 4. Targets markets that have a high probability of alignment with the goal of cultivating a <br /> regenerative visitor industry. <br /> Huhau Action Agenda,Community Version Rev.2 6/8/20 ainaalohafutures.com 5 <br />
