There is hope for the Vacation Rentals in Maui!
Daily we are seeing the local residents speak thier minds on the issue of Transient Vacation Rentals in Maui County. It looks like there just may be light at the end of the tunnel as the Planning Department Chairwoman speaks of the consistent unease of the many people that work for or own such rentals. Fare and eqitable permitting systems have caught many people in the lineup of waiting. Some for up to 8 years. These niche tourist accommodations are popular all over the world and our islands are no different. Lets just hope that Maui Co. can offer all owners and travelers a win-win situation that will bring rest to the issue at hand. We want to be seen as an island that welcome tourists and supports our locals. Today there is a meeting at the Co. and we can hope that the government powers will see that there are many ramifications to the tourist industry, as well as, property owners and small business owners that support these businesses. Our island needs to be united when it comes to supporting both. Show your support of local businesses please send your email to: Glady’s e mail address is; gladys.baisa@mauicounty.us

Aloha, Mary on Maui

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the update on Vacation Rentals, I know it’s been a topic of much discussion and I wasn’t quite sure where we were at on the issue.

I think we have a long way to go on this but at least, for the time being, it could be put on pause while the people working in this industry can get a fare opportunity to negotiate something that is a win-win. The county seems to be jumping the gun on a number of issues that impact the working class on this island. Tourism is a service industry and the majority of our small buiness owners depend on tourism to support their families. Aloha-Mary on Maui
