The Ho'omahua Initiative
Opportunity
Formed to Harness Smart, Regenerative, Community-Based Tourism to create thriving communities.

The initiative has five key goals.
-
Advance Native Hawaiian economic resiliency;
-
Perpetuate Native Hawaiian culture;
-
Improve tourism management and community planning;
-
Grow the Hawaii circular economy;
-
Positively impact communities through tourism and technology.
Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we look to connect visitors directly to our native community businesses and organizations while easing the burden placed on our resources through a common-sense approach of providing real-time data of flow and traffic to all areas tourists heavily visit.
The technology will provide opportunities for sector growth in coding, GIS, GPS, LiDAR, Data Analytics, and IoT devices as we identify solutions to address the needs of the County and State to manage tourism and spur a circular economy to obtain then reach beyond a steady-state economy within our communities.
Population(s) Served: Economically disadvantaged people, Native Hawaiians, and Academics.
