Action Speaks Louder Than Words
The presence of large-scale resorts will lead to concerns about the erosion of our local traditions and the commodification of our culture. Environmentally, the development of hotels and resorts will undoubtedly impact Ka'u’s rural lifestyle, pristine landscapes, contributing to habitat destruction, water overuse, and pollution. While these establishments bring economic benefits and make Hawaiian beauty accessible to the world, their growth requires careful management to ensure that it remains sustainable and respectful of Kau's unique heritage and natural resources.
