Waikīkī land sells for nine figures, the Green Fee brain trust is set, and yes, this newsletter might be hiding in your spam folder.

HTA’s new board is in, Molokaʻi hotel sells, Romer lets kids in, roof repairs crawl, and AI builds websites while the market wobbles.

HTA board quits, panic sets in, and Hilo gets soft-branded. Resorts renovate, rates drop, Romer rebounds, and AI now books your vacation.

HTA loses power, $300 Hamptons raise brows, and Waikīkī hotels swap brands. Maui stalls, Google rewrites booking, and Japan’s hope flickers.

We’ve got mergers and acquisitions, eye-popping renovation budgets, and a few public meltdowns. Add in new tax policy, fewer airline seats, a foreclosure-first on an illegal rental, and a surprise $1M gift from Airbnb, and you’ve got the kind of newsletter that practically writes itself (oh, how wish😃).

HTA reshuffles (again), $250M+ in hotel renovations kick off, and airlines bet big on Hawai‘i—just as the economy starts blinking. Plus: Cirque in Waikīkī, AI gets agentic, and reader feedback gets… spicy.

Waikīkī gets a capsule hotel, lawmakers eye more tourist taxes, and AI threatens to outwork us all. Plus: the Trump effect on travel, CNHA’s new role at Ko Olina, and Severance hits too close to home.

Green fees hit the floor, Breeze eyes the skies, Atlantis resurfaces (maybe), and HTA keeps spiraling. Also: resort fees, real estate moves, and a very confused newsletter editor watching “Expats.”
