For November, visitation of Australians to the Hawaiian islands was up 4.2% in 2015 versus November 2014. We are still on track for another record setting year with 308,975 Australian visitors travelling January to November 2015 - a year to date increase of 9.8%.
Total visitor arrivals to the Hawaiian Islands in November 2015 set a new record for the month with 661,352 visitors, a 3.7 percent growth year-over-year compared to November 2014, according to preliminary statistics released today by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA). November marked the ninth straight month total visitor arrivals have surpassed the previous monthly records.
