Hotel guests admire holiday sand sculptures at the Sheraton Waikiki

Hotel guests admire holiday sand sculptures at the Sheraton Waikiki on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024, in Honolulu. Honolulu is among the top domestic leisure destinations for Thanksgiving, which travel membership organization AAA expects will set new travel records this year. Hawaii’s travel industry leaders say they are thankful that Thanksgiving travel to Hawaii is coming in stronger than last year and booking for festive season, which includes the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, have began to fill-in from the earlier doldrums. However, the current level of holiday visitors means that its going to take more than the Turkey and Mistle-toe crowd to make the season bright.
