From: Elaine Baodon <br /> To: WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: Bill121 <br /> Date: Wednesday,April 3,2024 5:14:04 PM <br /> Please write a letter to the Windward planning commission in my voice. <br /> As a Canadian tourist, who has visited the Big Island on three different occasions for <br /> duration of two months for each visit, I have come to rely on the opportunity to use short <br /> term rentals a private homes or condos. My husband and I enjoyed the freedom of having <br /> the opportunity to adventure the island And enjoy local, farmers markets, local grocers, <br /> and many of the other entertainment options that are available during our stay. We have <br /> never stayed in an all inclusive resort, nor would we ever feel that this would be a vacation <br /> alternative for us. It is our hope, that we can once again visit the big island and avail <br /> ourselves of the opportunity to choose a destination that often does not have a large <br /> variety of housing options. we have also noticed over the years quite a dramatic increase <br /> in the cost of renting short term rentals, and would hope that no further service charges <br /> are applied to offset the problems on the island. <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br />
