Visa Wailer Program for the Nationals of the Republic of Korea,
Dear Senators Kawamoto, Sakamoto and Comrnittae Members,
The members of the Kona Kohala Resort Association support
resolutions SCR 150 and SR 76,
Korean travelers will soon visit the Big Igland of Hawai! landing at
Kona International Airport We would Eke to do all we can to encourage
this business to stimulate our economy. Unfortunately, Federal
regulations discourage Korean travel to I-Cawaii with cumbersome, tSme-
consuming visa procedures,
We urge you to move quickly to remove Chia travel trade barrier.
Thank you for the opportuniky to support these resolutions.
