Maui’s usually packed beaches are looking pretty empty these days. After the devastating 2023 wildfires and sky-high hotel prices, tourists just aren’t coming back like before. Locals are feeling the pinch—businesses are struggling, and the economy’s taking a hit. Some people think it’s too soon to visit after the tragedy, while others just can’t afford it anymore. Meanwhile, officials are begging travelers to return, but mixed messages and crazy prices aren’t helping. Would you go back to Maui right now? #Maui #TravelNews #Tourism #Hawaii #TravelTrends #Travel
