Walmart represents another issue - the reduction of tourist travel - which is the no. 1 income generator.

As the primary Hawaiian Islands turn it into another overdeveloped, overbuilt generic resort and overdeveloped gridlocked "bustling" city indistinguishable from all others, will tourists seek other exotic tropical locales still relatively unspoiled?

I suspect tourists really don't want to see Walmarts on their Hawaiian vacation. How many more Walmarts can the islands absorb before tourists go to the Dominican Republic, the Florida Keyes or Tahiti instead?
