Why Las Vegas casino hotels in Hawaii?
As we may encounter economic downturn, likely stagflation, due to the several years of pandemic, we need to think what opportunities may be best fit to the current Hawaii situations for quick revenue growth.
Heavily relying on Tourism, Hawaii may not have much resilience in dealing with such economic impact. E.g. If we remember 1918 pandemic, we experienced Great Depression after several years.
If we prepare, we may feel much less, even if it happens.
Hawaii also has generations-long hope of self-sustainable economy with much diversification.
So, if and when bringing back ferries, also bringing, perhaps only tourists accessible?, Las Vegas Casino Hotels at certain area of our islands, may not be a bad idea.
Let’s turn this crisis to many good opportunities for better future of Hawaii.
Aloha.
P.S. (State) lottery may also be a good revenue generating opportunity for such investment (ferries).
