Twice as Many Returning Residents vs. Tourists

Yesterday, Sunday, August 23, 2020, there were 1,854 people who arrived in Hawaii. During this same time last year approximately 35,000 passengers arrived in Hawaii daily, including residents and visitors. Following the current trend, there are nearly twice as many returning residents vs. tourists arriving in the islands on a daily basis.

The state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started on March 26 for all passengers arriving in Hawaii from out of state. This table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state yesterday and does not include interisland travel. This data was collected from the Hawaii Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Mandatory Travel Declaration Form.

Crew = flight crew members

Transit = people who are in transit to another location through Hawaii and aren’t leaving the airport

Military = military exempt personnel

Exempt = people who are exempt from the 14-day quarantine after receiving prior approval from the state

Relocate to Hawaii = people who are moving to Hawaii

Returning Resident = people who indicate on the DOT’s form that they’re returning residents

Visitor = people who are not in the above categories

The following table shows what the Oahu visitors indicated as the purpose of their trip, and they can choose more than one.
