A RESOLUTION TO PROMOTE HAWAII ISLAND RESTAURANT
SUSTAINABILITY BY NAMING OCTOBER AS HAWAII ISLAND EAT OUT MONTH
WHEREAS, to survive and prosper, restaurants on the Island of Hawaii are largely
dependent upon the visitor population; and
WHEREAS, October is the generally the slowest month of the year for visitors in
Hawaii; and
WHEREAS, increasing the number of residents who frequent restaurants during the
October slow period would collectively aid the restaurant economy and would aid the employees
and contractors and farmers associated with our restaurants and related businesses; and
WHEREAS, designating October as Hawaii Eat Out Month would also encourage
restaurants to focus on the Hawaii Island resident population both in terms of marketing and in
terms of specials that highlight produce grown here on Hawaii Island; and
WHEREAS, even if there are many who, given financial limitiations, are reluctant to eat
out, and are only able to eat out once during the month of October, this collective effort would
have a significant positive impact on our island -wide economy; and
WHEREAS, promoting collective action by residents to support the restaurant sector of the
Hawaii Island economy would have a long -term economic benefit and thereby promote overall
Hawaii Island restaurant sustainability; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the
month of October is Hawaii Island Eat Out Month.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that residents are encouraged to eat out at Hawaii
Island restaurants during the month of October.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that restaurants on the Island of Hawaii are
encouraged to promote October as Hawaii Island Eat Out Month.
