Hawaii is rated as one of the top tour destinations in the world. According to “Why Is Hawaii Such a Popular Vacation Spot?”, nearly 8 million travelers
Since 1840 the Hawaiian Islands have been an escape to a tropical paradise for millions of tourists. People all over the world encounter alluring, romanticized pictures of Hawai'i's lush, tropical vegetation, exotic animals, beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and fantastical women. This is the Hawai'i tourists know. This is the Hawai’i they visit. However, this Hawai'i is a state of mind, a corporate-produced image existing on the surface. More precisely, it is an aftermath of relentless colonization of the islands' native inhabitants by the United States. These native Hawaiians experience a completely different Hawai'i from the paradise tourists enjoy. No one makes this as clear as Haunani-Kay Trask, a native Hawaiian author. In her book, From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawai'i and through her poetry in Light in the Crevice Never Seen, Trask provides an intimate account of the tourist industry's impact on native Hawaiian culture. She presents a negative perspective of the violence, pollution, commercial development, and cultural exploitation produced by the tourist industry. Trask unveils the cruel reality of suffering and struggling through a native Hawaiian discourse. Most of the world is unaware of this.

...ad steam rising from it and vegetation was sparse. It was scary, but thrilling at the same time. Less than a mile away was the caldera and it was very surreal knowing that within running distance was volcanic lava boiling beneath the surface of the Earth waiting to one day erupt again. The ground was flat and cracked all around. We turned back up the dirt path to head up the trail into the foliage of the forest again, finally finding our way back after over an hour of searching and pondering. The Hawaiian islands are unlike any other place in the word in person. So much foliage and wildlife exists that you cannot find anywhere else, and each island is unique in its own little way without any controversy. This experience with my husband showed me how geologically diverse a given area of land can be and how nature can affect an ecosystem over a long period of time.
Hawai'i is a land full of diverse people and ideas, starting from the Polynesians who decided to cross the ocean to settle and form the traditions practiced today by the Hawaiians. Unlike many other states, the beliefs of Hawai'i have managed to stay alive. Its unique culture is what attracts tourists most. Many people see it as a vacation spot, full of fun attractions and say, “When I go to Hawai'i I'm going to get some Hawaiian tattoos, they look so cool!” or “I'm going to buy a hula skirt, they're really pretty!” But all those hula dances and tattoos are not just for show. People do not know that there is more to it than ink or hip swaying; behind every hula skirt and every tattoo there is a story. Hawai’i’s culture consists of the significance of its dances, tattoos, and traditions that give Hawaiians their unique lifestyle.
