We all live in a beautiful place that we call home it's why we understand HAWAII revenue is
tourism, hi been a small business owner for the last 30 years I contribute with economy of
Hilo and I do my part with providing a clean safe alternative lodging for travelers that are
coming to the island.
I believe without us there would be a niche missing in launching some people don't enjoy
spending hundreds of dollars if not thousands for a hotel room when they have no other
option. I believe without us there would be a niche missing in launching some people don't

I believe places like myself local bed -and -breakfast are Price economically allow more
travelers to come to the island and spend more money throughout the island itself .
Please don't give in to the pressure that the hotels are putting on the council to restrict
businesses like myself to accommodate guest.
Thank you very much for your time Robert Patey
