Spectacular, yes, but also a harbinger of how mass tourism blew up the human scale of recreational edifices until the romance of the South Seas was no more.
Waikiki being the classic case, this unchecked development is what rightfully lead the younger generation to become disenchanted with their forefathers ways.
Don's original International Marketplace, the original Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the Waikikian Hotel vs the Ililkai are all examples of how capitalism bulldozed the grass hut. |
