Hawaii is mulling their own version of travel or resort fees.




The state wants tourists to help pay for paradise, especially because growing
numbers are traveling to the islands to enjoy the beauty of its outdoors.

It costs money to repair coral reefs after boats run aground, shielding native
forest trees from a killer fungus outbreak and patrolling waters for swimmers
harassing dolphins and turtles.

Up for discussion among lawmakers is requiring tourists to pay for a yearlong
license or pass to visit state parks and trails.

Also up for debate is what to charge.

Governor Josh Green campaigned last year on a platform of having all tourists
pay a $50 fee to enter the state. 



Legislators think this would violate U.S. constitutional protections for free
travel and have promoted their parks and trails approach instead. 



Either policy would be a first of its kind for any U.S. state.

However, it wouldn't be unique to other tourist sites around the globe.

Fees and taxes have been imposed in Venice, Italy, and Ecuador’s Galápagos
Islands.

The Pacific island nation of Palau, for example, charges arriving international
passengers $100 to help it manage a sprawling marine sanctuary and promote
ecotourism.



State Rep. Sean Quinlan, a Democrat who chairs the House Tourism Committee, said
changing traveler patterns are one reason behind Hawaii's push. He said golf
rounds per visitor per day have declined 30% over the past decade while hiking
has increased 50%.

Residents with a Hawaii driver’s license or other state identification would be
exempt.
