The industry consulting group Hospitality Advisers released the report.
This release comes several days after the state reported a 14% decrease in visitors traveling to Hawaii in June.

Those could include asking for a federal waiver of landing fees or asking the state to temporarily eliminate the hotel room tax or general excise tax.
